Problems with K3 assembly.

[NPDAVEA]

The illustrated completed models look very professional.

I have had a K3 boxed kit for many years just waiting for some enforced leisure for me to attend to it. Now is the time of course.  At 83 I am not as dexterous as I once was but am managing OK so far;until I came to the spare wheel carrier. The parts seem impossible to fit together despite studying drawings and the parts with a magnifying glass. There are no or minimal "platforms" for the adhesive. Any helpful suggestions?

Having built this kit I can suggest using superglue and a little bit of bicarbe of soda. for the most part it is a fantastic kit!
