I've been building the Tamiya Sd.Kfz. 161/3 Mobelwagen 3.7cm Flak auf Fgst Pz.Kpfz. IV (Sf) for what seems like forever now. The only thing I'm having trouble with is finding information on the size and overall apperance of the boxes that the 3.7cm ammunition comes in. (So I can add some to the barren fighting compartment)
Any and all help with this matter is greatly appreciated. (I'm looking for dimensions and photos if possible)
I'm that Tamiya didn't include any in the kit!

Click on "Details" to see more pics of each box..

IMHO this website will tell you everything you always wanted to know about German ammo boxes
