Normally I am a fan of the AMPS build logs, but this one is worthless.
Step 4: E 29 is not the part, you are looking for 🙂 In fact I found none 🙁 In any case close the to holes on the right; they are for the Hilfsmotor for the turret of the battle tank. ( the drawing is correct- this is how the part should look like)
Step 7: F9 is F7 Open the holes in F7 for the box in Step 13
I left parts D9 and D10- no location points at all and to dangerous to interfere with the upper hull later.
Add the fenders first, then glue D16, after that it is time for D13, and lastely D24. I glued D24 only to D13. It stayed flexible this way and did not interfere with the upper hull.
Step 15: If you are like me and don`t find Sprue R, it is a clear sprue😉
Step 18: The basket- dry fit, dry fit, dry fit. Check the drawing in Step 20 how it should look like. There is not much room, or the turret won`t fit.
Step 21: Enjoy your Ostwind, see all the location holes, check if you missed something; nope; curse Dragon and close them ( and destroy some Zimmerit).
Or read this and fill the holes left and right of the engine deck 😄
