Holy 18 Wheeler...















...there's a lot of components.
And the instruction manual is sixteen pages long - this is going to be tough.
Scania have had drawn on their 119 year history to come up with the R500, and it looks like it might take me just as long to get this thing stuck together.
Just to confuse matters, the sprues (I think that's what the plastic frames are called) are labelled 'A' to 'G', whilst the paints are labelled 'A' to 'F'. If that didn't make things complex enough,
according to the manual one of the four paints listed on the outside of the box is not used and three additional colours are required. A quick scan through the instructions confirms the manual is correct, so just in case anyone is Googling for the actual paints required for this model they are:
Silver
Insignia White (Gloss)
Red (Gloss)
Orange (Gloss)
Gunship Grey (Flat)
Black (Flat)
