ssembling tanks can be a bit tricky the first time out. There are just so many parts! The printed diagrams included with every tank kit show what needs to be done pretty clearly, but sometimes a little bit of good ol' photography can go a long way. With this in mind, we've compiled a complete step-by-step guide for assembling your tanks. Have the instructions which came with your tank handy as you move through the steps. With both of these resources, you're sure to build your tank correctly and without any mishap. One important thing to keep in mind as you work is to dry fit all the pieces before committing with glue. This way, you can correct any parts that don't line up or fit.
