Ah Hah, progress, just finished step 11, much fun so far, steps 12 & 13 consists of 8 separate sub-steps with 16 parts to assemble the coupler housing (group 06), step 14 attaches it under the cab which is built in step 15 & 16. But wait!!! some of my gears are not meshing, I wasn't sure about gear assembly (group 03), and I can see now that it's been assembled backwards. I think I can get it out without taking the whole thing apart, but now you can see why they say "glue is only to fix error when you break part". No breaking part when disassemble, say prayer instead...
Gear-assembly (group 02) is loose, must tighten gear without bringing glue to the party. Also, time to remove the rubber band (must provide own) that was keeping shaft ass'y from falling apart.
Fortunately, step 16b says, "Open enclosed bottle of Sake and consume at your leisure. Return to project when sane and mostly sober".
Does my report sound cynical and somewhat sarcastic? Of course it does.
