The chassis
Went together perfectly with some idiocy/hilarity. It has, as you see, 3 axles. The front one was fine. The domes that you can see are part of it but the lower parts, where the main shaft enters and exits are separate parts. So I glued them on, let the glue set, come back next day and try to install the axle only to realize that I glued the part on sideways . So I decided to break something, took small pliers and with some twist and turn the part broke off fairly clean. Turn the part 90 degrees, glue it back, come back tomorrow only to realize that I have turned it 90 degrees but in the wrong direction . Out come the players again, twist and turn and think just how lucky the humanity is that I am a physiotherapist and not a surgeon . But, the pieces broke off well and got glued back well and it turned out quite well.
And some paraphernalia that will be attached to the frame later. The big box is a fuel tank, crane is obviously what it is , the rest I don't know what.

I am not 100% convinced that I want a physiotherapist that turns something 90 degrees in the wrong direction any more that I would want a surgeon do it!

Thanks folks. The nice touch is that Italeri supplied the ammo box with ammo in it. Otherwise the whole thing looks like a missing tooth :-) like on some other kits.
