I built my secnd DL-535E kit over the last couple of weeks at a more leisurely pace than the first. It was a much easier task the second time around and I think this one came out a little better in terms of fit and finish.I took a few more pics this time, so will post them up in case it helps anyone else.
This is what you start with…
First, build the pilots, walkways, and steps assembly first, as true as you can make it. Here the sides of the frame have been soldered to the walkway stamping.
Next, you attach the pilots and plow, as well as some other end details.
Next, you build the driveline. You’ll tune it some now after testing on DC most likely. Keep in mind that this mechanism is “jumpy” without the weight of the shell on it yet.
