Sorry for the delay but I had my annual VA check up this morning. Left at 6:30am and just got back home 11:45am. "Hurry Up and Wait" I may be looking at it all wrong or the person doing the drawing did. He might have thought it was a writing desk.  ? Step#29   I put the flat side up with the little lip at the bottom for the heel. Back to the bench Tony lee |

Tony, i sure hope they didnt subcontract to Dragon instruction makers! We all know what a disaster they can be.   |

Here's another item that might have you scratching your head.  See that little cylinder held by the fork bracket behind the control wheel, the instructions aren't to clear but that's where it goes. Tony lee |

I hope this is helpful for sure. I've never build a 88 before and have no references but the instructions are a bit better than Dragons. Started on the armor shield and the PE parts are insanely small even for you young guns I bet. Later Tony lee |

Man that's some nice detail work there Tony, definitely can dig it! Bronco LOVES doing teeny parts to provide details and you can't fault them for that, but it certainly does add to the time required to remove each part and place them...sometimes their suggested order isn't the best for preserving those little details intact either, so always pays to study the sheets. Looking forward to more, carry on sir! |

You're so right Bill and this kit is NO slammer for those that like simple builds. The chassis is but the 88 is the center of interest and Broncos approach is warranted. I guess it's time to hit the wheels/tracks and let the gun cure out. Thanks for the comments guys Tony lee |

Makin Tracks  Not as fast as the Bronco SU-152 tracks because the pin sprues lined up with the track links these for the Grille 10 DON'T.  With these you have to cut the single pins off and insert them in every other link, let the glue set then go back and pin the links you skipped. All the wheels are ready for paint at least.
