Radiator assembly, fender assemblies, steering installation.
Diagrams still vague and sucky. Locations of assemblies not marked well or not marked at all. I had to trim steering gear box to fit in space between engine and hood side and had to trim right fender to add clearance for the steering linkage. greg

I've been following your build against my unbuilt plans and parts, for a modern model, it is quite disappointing that GPM have released it in this condition...
Your build looks far better than the model provides for...

This model has six stabilizers, four that are "hard mounted" and two that are articulated.
The hard mounted ones were installed in this post. Diagrams continue to be vague, confusing and incomplete. I built these assemblies more from the limited photos of the prototype model provided and from my own reasoning. I am not sure if they are 100% correct but they look right by my eye. greg

Dear designer/diagram creator of this model,
Please develop clearer and more accurate diagrams in the future and proof read them before publication. The retractable stabilizers swing out to the sides and raise and lower in position. Building of these was hampered again by poor and incorrectly drawn diagrams. articulation was preserved but not until I made some cylinder rod mounting pins, broke out my more flexible PVA glue for the barrel mounting pins and shortening the rod to a more realistic length (20 mm removed on each). greg

Well I've fought through all the diagram/instruction/ parts placement issues to this point: a completed chassis assembly.
Next up is trying to decipher and build the superstructure with the gun(s) and seats. I'm sure I'm in for a challenging time.... greg

I think I built this right.....at least I hope so.

Looks pretty close to the drawings (such as they are!) in the instructions...

So over the last 8 days (3 of which I did nothing on this), I pushed through the upper structure and finished this build.
Since I have already commented on the poor diagrams, I will only say that the build sequence and parts placement got progressively more confusing until I got to the rear seats. I think this would have been a much more satisfying and enjoyable build had the diagrams been better. However, I find myself hesitant to recommend this to any one unless you enjoy lots of puzzle solving. OK so here is the last string of pictures for your perusal... greg
