Pod 2
Parts supplied: Front hatch, Front hatch inner, Hatch stay, Stopper, Springs x2, Hinge pins x2.
Fit the stay to the front hatch inner and use the tweezers to fit a hinge pin, inserting it from the outside and with the ribbed tip left exposed then push the pin fully in. Use the back of the tweezers if necessary and then repeat the steps for the other pin.
Next fit the stopper into the recess in the inner hatch with its tip seated in the notch. Then using superglue fix the front hatch to the inner hatch, via the locating lugs.
Finally place the loop at the end of a spring onto the hook at each side of the hatch stay.
Excavator
Parts supplied: Chassis, Wheels A (fret), Wheels B (fret), Tracks x2, Axles x4.
Separate the drive wheels A and B from the fret and glue them together making two drive wheels. Then do the same for the wheels A and B making six wheels.
Fit an axle into one of the drive wheel sets and the other three axles into a wheel set. Now checking the orientation of the chassis fit the drive wheel/axle through the rearmost holes in the chassis sides. Then fit the remaining drive wheel set to complete the drive axle.
Pass one of the wheel axles through the next hole in the chassis and press another wheel set onto the end of the axle. Now repeat for the remaining axles and wheels. Finally fit the two tracks over the wheels.
