The handrails are marked L and R to show you which is which and these are attached by fitting the curved tips into the holes in the back end of the main body, then moving forward fit the two pins into the top of the main body and the end pins into the water tank. Next fit the two tail lamps to the back end of the main body
Join the pump unit to its base and then the side blocks to the pump unit making sure their orientation is correct. Next fix the details A+B to the top of the pump unit and without glue fit the pump assembly to the turret via the pins/holes. To complete the pump unit glue the nozzle into place.
Matching the slope of the bonnet glue the bonnet detail into its slot and the name plate onto the roof of the cockpit. Then fit the side mirrors into their slots with the mirrored surfaces facing backwards and checking they are level with each other.

Slide two wheels over the tip of one of the axles, silver side first so that the side with the central recess faces out and retain them by pushing a hubcap onto the ribbed end of the axle. Now slide the wheels back up the axle until they rest against the hubcap. Fit two more wheels and a hubcap to the other end of the axle making sure both pairs of wheels fit together snugly and are pushed up against the hubcaps. Repeat these steps to fit another set of wheels and hubcaps to the second axle.
Glue the rear buffer to the rear upper chassis and then fit the wheel/axle sets to the lower chassis, without glue. Finally glue the upper chassis to the lower chassis via its locating pins encasing the two axles.
