path is clear (arrows), then turn the track
on its side and hammer the pin into place.
You now have a segment of five treads.

Place the small air inlet grille over the
raised rectangular area on the right-hand
side of the hull, behind the turret, next
to the fourth external fuel tank. Align the
holes at the sides of the grille with those in
the hull, and then place the posts on the
underside of the two plates into the holes.
Make sure the colours of the plates (khaki
