Here are a few photos of DML's new Sturminfanteriegeschutz 33B that I finished last night. They should be in the shops by Christmas, and therein lies the problem. There are a number of errors in the instructions that were passed on after the deadline due to Canada Customs holding on to the last test shots for over two weeks.

I'll post a tweaks list with marked up instructions as soon as I can get the time.

The wire lead from the headlight is my own add-on. I only just realized in the last couple of days that this was how it was done after studying some of the wartime photos more closely.

I used strands from an old typing eraser brush (anyone here remember the typewriter?) for the guards around the cover over the gunsight shield. DML provide preformed metal wires in the kit.

Thanks to Heiner Duske and Fraser Gray for sharing their photos of the Kubinka Museum vehicle and Jon Feenstra for lending me his Kubinka Photo Album book.

Regards,

Tom
