    Locate Chassis Parts

Start the Defender 90 wood model kit build by locating the
chassis parts as shown above.

- Chassis flat base x1
- Chassis sides x2

TIP: 

In step 3 (see page 5), you will need the small square

metal file (nail file, emory board or sandpaper) to remove
the brown laser cutting glue residue and prepare each piece
for ease of fitment. 

Introduction

Welcome to the build guide for our wood model kits.

This guide is to be used in conjunction with each wood model
kit to help a first-time or seasoned model builder. Following
these detailed notes and photos will give you the knowledge
on how to work with a laser cut wood model assembly
process and make building a fun experience.

      This kit requires the use of sharp tools, sharp pointed 

instruments for filing and Super Glue that can stick your 
fingers together. Please read through the entire builde guide
and familiarize yourself with what is involved before starting.

      Whether you plan to make this a parent and child learn-

ing experience or want to build this yourself, I hope my
decades of model building knowledge can help steer you
along. Happy Land Rover Model Building!

Cheers,
