Crew access to the fighting compartment was through a door in the rear of the vehicle.

Assembling The Tatra vz.30 Armoured Car

The 4x6 chassis of the Tatra vz.30 has a single axle at the front, and double wheels.	Glue the right-hand double back wheel piece in place, taking care to ensure it is straight.

Tip: When referring to left or right-hand side in regards to a Flames Of War miniature, the orientation is determined as if looking at the vehicle from the rear.
Glue the right-hand single front wheel in place.	Repeat for the left-hand side.	Place the vehicle wheels-down to check that all wheels are straight, before the glue dries.

To model the armoued car 'buttoned up', simply glue the hatch into the hole in the turret.	If you want to have the gunner looking out of the hatch (optional) glue the hatch vertically open,...	...then glue the commander figure in place behind the hatch, which will help to hold the hatch in place.

Tip: Always dry-fit components before final assembly. Dry Fitting is test-assembling components of a model without any glue. This ensures that they fit together correctly before a permanent bond is created and allows for any fine adjustments to be made.
A rectangular recess marks the correct placement of the Hull MG.	Glue the hull machine-gun in place.	The finished model.
