This kit includes parts for a driving cab floor for the TAMIYA MB 1838 / 1850. The floor consists
of two parts and is placed on the existing base plate and partly inside the cab. The cab floor

Assembly Procedure
Before you put the parts together please read the assembly instructions carefully and pay
attention to the assembly sequence and test the fitting accuracy of the parts before gluing
them together.
It is helpful to fix the parts at first only on a few points with super-glue and after a check along
the edges fully with super-glue or a polystyrene-glue.
The parts are made of polystyrene, if you use super-glue in combination with activator spray,
please be aware that the activator spray can destroy polystyrene – because of that you should
use it very carefully or use only polystyrene-glue.
The kit consists of three modules.
Module 1 (floor front):
The wall member 11 is first glued flush and in a 90 degrees angle to the
upper floor 7. The designated depression in Part 7 assists in positioning.
The part must be fixed true sided on top - note in the picture, the
position of the oblique small slit.
Subsequently, the positioning aid 8 is inserted into the remaining
depression well before part 11 in the floor and glued at 90 degrees.

The wall sections 9, 12 and 13 are tentatively placed in the slots
provided in the upper floor 7 - Note the arrangement in the picture
above - and then glued flush and in 90 degrees angle. For test, the
cover 10 can be placed as well. If everything fits, cover 10 can also be
glued from below.
Module 2 (support):
Glue support 1 with wall in a 90 degree angle (as pictured above). Make
sure that the narrower flap is at left. Subsequently, glue part 3 into the
longitudinal slot - please note also the direction here.

Module 3 (main support):
Align parts 5 and 6 as shown above and glue them to each other in a 90
degrees angle (with this the main support can be fixed to the cab by
screw or with double sided tape). At the front the two L-pads lie on the
fender hump

You can clearly see how the cabin floor's rear fits on the gearbox housing
- the fitting 8 "dives" in front into the space between the black floor
plate. The floor may be fixed with double-sided tape.
