Parts for one of the 2 two wheel bogie units.
Bogie Assembly.
1. fit the small and large springs to the central bracket and fit the two bogie arms together for the two bogie halves.
2. Fit the spring assembly pins into the holes on the bogies arms.
3. Fit the two road wheels and return roller to one bogie side taking careful note of the road wheel direction and attach the other bogie side.
4. Fit the four small spring bolts and images of the assembled bogies.
Rear mud scraper, two style mountings are included.
Assembled suspension with the link and length tracks fitted, these fit very well but I needed to trim off one link for the best fit.
The individual links are moulded with two links each, so trimming off one from the mating end is the best option.
Close-up of tracks, drive spockets and rear bogie.
Considering the small size of the links these are nicely moulded with little or no flash to be removed.
The only issue is every second or so end pin is also the sprue attachment so some careful trimming is needed
to keep the end pin intact after removing from the sprues.
Hull front steering, gears and driver's pedals fitted.
Assembled seats.
Seats fitted into hull, note the side lever bent to shape and trapped between the plastic quadrant bracket.
This can help secure the seats in position if you glue the lever into the quadrant.
