Just started AFV Club's M109A2--any tips?

[DeskJockey]

As the title says, I've just started building AFV Club's M109A2 kit as a retirement gift for a colleague of mine who used to be an artillery officer back in the 80s. Does anyone have any tips on this kit or things to watch out for as I start tacking this fine kit? So far I've built up the lower hull and I just started putting in the suspension arms. Squaring the hull took a bit of fiddling, as a couple of the side panels were slightly warped, but I think I got it close enough.

Hi DJ,i built this kit a few months ago and can say i had no major problems.The only issue i had was putting the small hinges on the hatches on top of the front hull.HTH
