ROUTEMASTER pack 3 stages 22, 23, 24.

[JDave Say]

Pack 3 stages 22 , 23 , 24 ,stage 22 is the assembly of the drive unit quite an easy stage and gives you a feel of the super detailed plastic parts and also this is when we get a free pair of tweezers to , stage 23 we receive more detail parts for the chassis and we get to fit them onto the chassis , my point of note here would be with part 23D it’s a very fragile plastic pipe that fixes between the gearbox and the tank I have put this piece in my safe box for adding later in the build as it’s fragile and vulnerable and easily broken off when working on the chassis I’ll remind everyone about these small fragile parts at a later stage but for now it’s best if it’s put somewhere safe and easily found for later ( i use a plastic ice cream tub with a lid for the bits n bobs that I keep safe for later on in the build  ) , stage 24 the gearbox and connections , this is a mix of metal and plastic parts and my notes here are the black pipes they are a fiddle but once in place I didn’t find this stage too bad , we fix the gearbox to the chassis too and my tip would be make sure you’ve got the orientation correct when fitting to chassis as it can be a little confusing as we’re having to turn the chassis over a few times during these few stages .
