just scroll down you'll see it, it's long list. But I must say it in some ways helped. Here's a link to the hole thing from the start to the end. I love building this thing. Oh I like the orange letters.

if you need any thing let me know.

I figured now would be a good time to attatch the upper hull permanently. The next step will be adding the armor on the front and sides....

Then I added the two small stowage boxes on the rear.....

O.K. Pictures....

I started out with the lower hull, attatching all of the extra suspension pieces like the transmission housings (?) and idler pegs. Correct me if some of my terminology is off, but I'm normally a car guy.

The tow hooks (?) were molded solid, so I drilled them out with a pin vice....

Finally, I attached the rear bulkhead and filled the seam between it and the main hull. I added the mudflaps last. The instructions would have you install the wheels, idlers, and sprockets at this point, but I'll leave them off until the main hull is painted. Theyr'e easier to paint seperate anyway....
