Set C, the super-structure for Tank 99.211 Regner order nbr. 20200
This set holds the superstructure and many detailing items. As mentioned in paragraph dealing with set A, the footplate of the Regner 99.4701 can't be used for the 99.211. If the "wrong" footplate is fitted nothing else remains than remove the kettle and piping before you can proceed. Pity sad is that some screws of the pre-assembled frame (and painted!) must be loosened to mount a different front-bufferbeam. This action does damage the bolt-heads; it would convenient when new screws had been supplied by this set. It is just a minor critic.
Assembling this set went on without problems, I advise to cut the brass wire for the handgrips economical to length. In my situation, I was somewhat generously.

The tightening the bolts used to mount the backside of the engineers’ house is best done with the roof on its place. This way the roof is easier to place and remove without it gets jammed or rattles. One other small problem I experienced were the screws below the taillamp support, here the bolt-heads surely came very close with each other, one of the screws replace by a slotted-screw. These have a lower bolt-head. See arrow figure 9.

The dummy sandpipes had to be shortened so they don't interfere with the tops of the sidetanks. See arrow figure 10. In this building block also dummy brakes are present, according to the building instruction at both sides of the brakehangers nuts should be placed. However in the brakehangers also threaded holes are cut, this screw thread does hamper the use of the two nuts. In my case, I have deleted the inside contra nuts. One other option can to enlarge the threaded holes in the brake hangers by drilling and lock up the brakehangers between two nuts.

Fitting the RC components
The servos are assembled as instruction describes. According to these instruction the batteries (4x penlites) should fit between the frame plates. I did not follow this due to the tight fit between the frame plates.
With double-sided-self-adhesive tape, the battery holder is secured under the roof. See figure 11. Via a switch and plug connection these batteries feed the receiver, which is stuck against the backside of the engineers’ house. See figure 12.
The antenna-wire is coiled as indicated in the instructions of the RC-set and clasped between the sidetanks and the frame. The antenna has been coiled around a plastic strip and after that finished with a shrinksleave. Good reception, without the antenna in view. See figure 13.
