AS 90 SP Howitzer by Trumpeter

I'll try to help you.

I have the Hobby Craft AS90 (It's the Trumpeter kit under the HC label) To be fair, I have not built it yet, but I am looking at the instruction step which you have mentioned.

It is showing you some of the parts already in position.

If you were sitting in the driver's seat, parts A22 go on the left side and parts A23 go on the right side.

You do need to put all of parts A22 and A23 on at this time in the construction sequence. That should be six each of the A22 and A23 parts.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for the quick response! I kinda thought that but it doesn't hurt to ask for another opinion

I did it, it's a nice kit, the tools are a little thick for the scale, and I had a couple of problems fitting the "basket at the top of the turret, other than that it went pretty well

You also need to beware of the instructions to that kit.Look at section 17,the base of the gun barrel section and then at section 19.In 17 they have 2 parts going on the opposite way to what they should but in 19 they show it the correct way.If i can find my instructions tomorrow I will elaborate further.
