sorry pictures are not to clear, these are a few of the assembled parts ready for detailing. just been reading through the instructions and found one mistake it ,the road wheels all come in two halves which are to be cemented together then fitted to the axles once cemented together you can't fit them all on as they are supposed to sort of overlap each other but you cant fit them on this way,best way is to fit inner halves to axles then cement the outer halves in place !Attached Files- 135 scale tamiya ' famo' 18 ton halftrack suspension parts.jpg (2.8 KB, 1 view)

If you have glued the wheels together. You can get them on the axles by standing the wheels up in the "assembled" position and place the chassis alongside and carefully move them into place and press onto the axles....
Ask me how I know... O.oComment

Just keep the outer faces of the wheel axes clear of paint (or scrape it off, of course), then install them like you say — you can still glue the inner and outer halves together fine.Comment
