Quick answer
Start by sorting the metal parts and figures, then follow the numbered bag sequence in the manual. The most common mistake is overtightening screws, which can strip the threads.
Why the order of assembly matters
The eitech Sightseeing Bus kit is designed with a logical build flow that matches the numbered bags. Jumping ahead or mixing parts can cause alignment issues later, especially with the chassis and passenger compartment. Taking the time to organize each bag before you start will save you from backtracking.
Assembly steps for the eitech Sightseeing Bus with Figures
- Sort the parts by bag number: Open each numbered bag and lay the metal strips, screws, and plastic pieces on a flat surface. Use the manual to identify any small parts that look similar. Empty one bag at a time to avoid mixing parts from different sections.
- Build the chassis first: Follow the manual to connect the long metal strips for the base. Insert the axles and wheels loosely—tighten them only after the chassis is square. Common mistake: tightening wheels too early can make the chassis twist. Keep them loose until the body is attached.
- Assemble the passenger compartment: Attach the side panels and roof supports using the screws from bag 2. Ensure the window frames align before fully tightening. Check that the figures can sit inside before you lock the roof in place.
- Attach the figures and final details: Place the figures in the seats, then secure the roof and any remaining trim pieces. Add the wheels and tighten all screws firmly but gently. Overtightening can strip the metal threads. Stop turning as soon as the screw is snug.
