Assembly instructions

Mirror Models 35851 US Military Bulldozer

Go through assembly guide before you start your work. We recommend to use a sharp scalpel to removeparts carefully.Heat up PE parts with lighter before use, brass will soften and become easy to bend and work withTamiya Super Thin Glue recommended for plastic parts, let the glue work for a few seconds, then pushparts together, melted plastic will fill the gaps between parts. You can also melt sprue frame and useit as an amazing filler for small works, or use this glue to wash out tiny seam lines on little parts or maketexture on some parts etc. You might need to adjust some holes with drilling bits
