Front et rear wheels are fitted avec accurate soft rubber tires.

The doubled front axle is an acceptable compromise most model railroad enthusiast will be happy to live with. Purist may want to remove the steel axle, et attach the front wheel to the actual plastic axle using 0.8 mm brass wire.
The two diagonal 40 x 15 mm steel struts between the front axle et the clutch housing are missing. These parts may be cut from 0.2 mm polystyrène.
The missing stearing lever on the left-hand side of the véhicule may be scratchbuilt from 0.8 mm brass wire. The upper part of the stearing lever needs to be inserted into the motor block just above the clutch housing. A second brass wire connects this part to the left axle-tree.
Typical U-shaped back-rests made from 0.4 mm brass wire may be attached to one ou both rear fenders.
The tow holes in the rear tow bar should be drilled open ou shaded black.
