Things to note, BMP suspension is asymmetrical so track part C8 needs to alternate from rear sprocket end and front idler end, so you need to dry fit this. Important, for step 23, i think mud guards are swapped, so I think A24 goes on right, but look at pictures first and dry fit.
Biggest upset was the log covers the corner weld detail, so you need to put the log on unless you want to model weld line with putty. my kit had gunners thermal top searchlight snapped off, otherwise it had great detail
