Assembly guide on how to assemble your TOS-1 Thermobaric Rocket Launcher

Check out the TOS-1 Thermobaric Rocket Launcher spotlight here...


Step 1. Begin assembly of your TOS-1 by glueing on the tracks. There are different spaced notches to ensure you don't put them on backwards. Step 2. Next glue on the back plate.

Below: You'll notice that the plate sits a bit higher than the hull right now - this is normal. Step 3. Glue the top and bottom hull together. You'll notice now that the back plate fits perfectly with the top assembled.

Step 4. Glue the side skirts onto the hull by lining up the two notches. This can be a little tricky. Note: The two side skirts are different. The left-hand side skirt has a small notch taken out of it. This is to make way for the exhaust.

Step 5. Assemble the fuel drums by gluing a top and bottom piece together. The difference is illustrated to the right.

Step 6. Next glue the assembled fuel drums to the rear of the hull. The mounting brackets should be facing the ground. Step 7. Finish off the hull assembly by gluing the unditching beam to the locating tabs on the rear.

Step 8. Now we will build the turret. Attach the rear section of the rocket launcher to the main launcher part.

Important Note: This section will require you to use superglue
