Now that the tank track assemblies made its time to assemble the WWI Model Landship body.

Stage 1: Forming the body.

Use Sheet 3.

In order to assemble the main body you'll now need to fold all tabs as shown.

Now that all the folds have been made stick each tab into place to form the WWI model land ship kit body.

How to make a model WWI landship, adding the Tank top body panel.

After all the tabs have been fixed into position you'll notice also that there's a gap left at the top.

Then using Sheet 3 again cut out the additional tank top panel.

Again, make all folds and then stick the panel in place making sure that you stick the two tabs on each end of the tank body to the panel.

Connecting the WWI tank body to the track assembly.

With the body complete, you can then fix the tank track assemblies onto it.

Line up the tank body with the profile of the side track ensuring that the long sloping side of the body is on the bottom and pointing to the front as I have shown. At this point the MKIV Landship is nearing completion.

Adding the petrol tank.

Using Sheet 3 locate the petrol tank, cut it out and then assemble it.

With the petrol tank assembled fix it to the back of the Landship flush with the base of the body as can be seen.

In the last part you will adding the Rope box, Front turret, Manhole turret, Tow Hitch, un-ditching log and Exhaust to your WWI Model landship Kit.
