Thanks man! This is going to look good for pics next to my A model, might make the B model as well from spare parts and photograph all 3 together :)

I will definitely share ours soon.

Thanks! I'll have to build this, once I find the time that is.

So, finally. We tried building it complete. However ended disassembled. Thank anyways.

The good: 

Steering is genius, love the arm!

The bad:

Tubing is bad to see, cluttered, and the arm cylinder is poorly connected.

I did not have problems with seeing the tubing in the instructions. But actually getting them trough the designated holes was hell. And yes also had problems with the arm cylinder. While lifting the arm for the tubing the cylinder lost it's lower connection to the model. Certainly not frustration free 

Also left out some steps, like page 17, too much force required. And page 139.

@Aventador2004 Thank you! I've tried my best with those photos.

 I know that the tubing may touch some other parts over there, but it doesn't affect cylinder work in mine.

What do you mean? You was unable to finish building? What was unclear?

I don't think step 17 to be dangerous for parts or something else. Actually I think I've even seen that technicue in one official set.

Yes, step 139 may be tricky, but is not necessary.
