Carson 520010102 Operating instructions

  • Hello! I'm a chat assistant that has reviewed the user manual for the Mercedes-Benz W 196 model car. The manual provides step by step instructions for assembling the 1:8 scale model, including details on using specific screws for metal and plastic, handling delicate parts, and even wheel assembly options. I am ready to answer your questions about the assembly process or any other topic related to the model.
  • What is the only tool needed for this build?
    What are the differences between screws ending in M and in P?
    What should I do if some parts are left unused in a step?

Guide to the instructions
This set of step-by-step instructions will enable
you to complete the build of your 1:8-scale
Mercedes-Benz W196. The only tool you will
need is a screwdriver. Most of the steps involve

After that there was also

the development decisively.
And although, yet again, in
WKHFDVHRIWKH:5
the whole was much more
than the sum of its parts,
every component is worth
mentioning: cutting-edge
technology in terms of its
era, in spite of the fact that,
in some cases, there had
been precedents in the
history of motor sports.
This silver masterpiece, of
ZKLFKXQLWVLQFOXGLQJD
prototype were built, drove
its competitors to despair in
the following two years. Its
original streamlined body
was both expedient and
visually appealing. From the
European Grand Prix on the
Nürburgring in early August

open-wheel (monoposto)
version also formed part
of the line-up. Its tubular
space frame was light and
sturdy, its suspension with
torsion bars and a new
single-joint swing axle at
hohe Geschwindigkeiten
zulässt. Danach gibt es noch
