The nostalgic box with the complete parts and decals of the

vehicle encouraged me to build the AMT model. The building

instructions are written in English. The work sequences are not

entirely complete. First I primed the body, then brushed it with

Tamiya Titan.Gold. Masked and applied glossy black to the

body. While the paint was drying I assembled the engine, the

chassis and the interior, which I painted beforehand according

to the color code. Please note that an exhaust manifold

assembly (parts 14, 15 and 16) is not glued to the engine.

Otherwise you won't get the engine into the chassis with the

wheels. Decals attached to the body and painted with glossy

clear. Insert window. After this process I mounted the engine

into the chassis and the missing exhaust. Then the interior

follows. The two assemblies are now successfully assembled

and the remaining parts can be added on. The Moonfueltank

cannot be attached unless a holder is tinkered with. A small

square plate that hangs on an unused radiator is glued under

the interior.
