Hey guys I got my first armor kit at a show the other day. It is Tamiya's 1/35th Wespe. Any information you have about it would be great. Does it have a crew of four or five? Also any pictures of both models and the real thing would be great. I have looked at the instructions and am not quite sure but is it possible to elevate the gun?
Thanks
Adam

Hey there - you got a gem of a kit. The Wespe is a wonderful build.
From memory - the Wespe had a crew of 5 - driver, radio operator, loader, gunner, and commander. The links below take you to some pictures of completed models, as well as some shots of the actual vehicle. I hope that helps (welcome to the world of armor:).
