Now onto learning how to airbrush.

Take care.

Btw: we used to be in the area at Reston and Herndon quite often when our son played hockey.

Although I have 3 more He-111s (including an He-111Z) under construction, I decided to take a break and

work on a 1/350 Japanese destroyer - minimal decals and no splinter camouflage.

I first thought the parts snapped together, but they do not. I have the tire on, and see how the pin slides into the axel. I can't figure how the drum attaches to the rim to hold the the wheel together without glue.

Building Revel Baja Bronco

Cannot see how to assemble/ attach rims and drums and axle pins with no glue as indicated in instructions

Nothing seems to snap together.

Surely a dumb question, but newby needs help.

Thanks

Background (with thanks to Wikipedia and Amazon):

Explorer, war hero, filmmaker, and cinema pioneer Merian C. Cooper --the adventurer who created King Kong (the original with Fay Wray) --was truly larger than life.  Cooper was a member and co-founder of a volunteer American flight squadron, the Kościuszko Squadron, which supported the Polish Army in the Polish-Bolshevik War. On July 13, 1920, his plane was shot down and he spent nearly nine months in a Soviet prisoner of war camp^.  He escaped just before the war was over and made it to Latvia. For his valor he was decorated with the highest Polish military decoration, the Virtuti Militari.
