Fingers drenched in superglue but the photoetched parts are where they should be... mostly 🙂
Helpful tip from the armorama build log: Glue the photoetched rings to the wheels while they ( the wheels) are on the sprue.

Step 6: Glue G25 to K16 after you inserted K16 in the lower hull. Much easier this way and better visibility to insert K16 correctly.

General Tips:
- Don`t glue the rear wall in Step 4 I thought, I had it right. Nope. Fit everything in Step 11. After I resolved the problem with the rear wall, everything fit perfect.
- Step 12/ 13 Don`t add the Notek Light ( sub-step D) ( if you do, you have to add the Notek rear lights, which are on the blue H sprue)
- Step 20/ 21 Don`t glue the gun to the armor. Dry fit, dry fit, dry fit 🙂 I glued the gun to the hull first. It sits deeper that it seems at first, using some force is appropriate😉 . Then I added the upper armor. The whole thing is a very tight fit, so again some force may be necessary.
The gun construction has some tiny parts. I promptly lost two of them to the carpet monster. But I feel ready for a Bronco kit now 🙂
PS: The numbers for the PE parts on the instructions are completely bullshit. Check your fret, it is quite clear what you need.
