And if you want inspiration, go see Peter Jackson's "They Shall Not Grow Old". A couple of sections of good colorized footage of British Great War tanks are part of that truly spectacular film.

This is the 1st 11 steps to the construction and alignment is key. Fit is pretty good but fiddly in some spots.

Thanks guys!
Alignment was accomplished by using one of the side plates for the tracks that the main hull attaches to. Aligning a couple of pieces to start on the plate and very carefully adding Tamiya extra thin. Just keep adding pieces until complete but not getting any cement on the side plate. I've seen some reviews that do glue it all on the side pieces to start with but I kept it separate. Might make the wheels go on the plates easier. BTW there are 27 wheel assemblies with 2 wheels on each assembly. That makes 54 wheel per side for 108 wheels total! Got ya beat Jeff!
