O.k. I want to convert Trumpeter's Sd.Ah. 52 (one that comes in Trumpeter's Sd.Kfz. 7/2 kit) into a Sd.Ah. 56/57 (actually a 57 but externally they are the same) since it is mostly a 56/57 already, but I am having a hard time locating clear photographs and or drawing of the thing. In particular I need the suspension and frame. I appreciate all the help. Thanks.

Did you see Bill Cross's review of the the 1/35th Weiner Modellbau Sd.Ah 57 ? Maybe the kit pics would help... :

Looks like some had a flat roof :



...and other had a curved roof (like the kit one) :

Thanks for the reply Frenchy, yes I did read that review. The pics I need are more or less walk around pics, especially of the bottom (if there are any) or good scale drawings. Trumpeter did a good job on the wheels, fender and body of the 56/57 but they used the wrong suspension and frame. They used a Sd.Ah. 52 suspension. They called the trailer a 52 (which is the wrong ammo trailer for the Sd.Kfz. 7/2) but they built a 56/57 (which is the right ammo trailer) body and wheels and mounted them on a 52 suspension/frame. I want to scratch build a new suspension and frame and use the Trumpeter body, wheels, fenders and which ever other detail parts that may be usable. Thanks again.

Roy, if there are photos like that, I am damned if I know where to find them.

The Wiener Modelbau kit is one of the finest kits I've ever built. It's well worth the money, and you'll get the right suspension. Fixing Trumpeter's trailer just isn't worth it IMO.
