Hello,
I did not start this for a long time, because I was not sure about the things I found on the Internet and in my own documentation. I finally took the decision to start with what I found and some profound speculations.
First off all there should be a cut out in the fire wall because otherwise in some angle the gun could not have a full recoil, in some pictures there is a glimpse of it, second the engine hatch could not be opened with the gun in place, so the two half are welded to one piece and the hinges removed . the third one are the plates on the side for the crew to stand on, there is no photographic evidence of these but on some pictures you can see a crew member standing in that places so there must be something to stand on.
I choose to use the SIG 33 from AFV, not only because its better detail but also this kit has the option for an early SIG 33 witch is correct for the time frame (may 1940) I want to finish this one in.
The only thing is that the wheel base is to wide so I adjusted the wheels and shortened the axle .
After some adjustments on the shield supports of the gun it fits the angle of the front plate of the superstructure
