Hi,
I'm hoping someone will be able to help me on a query I have. I am busy building Trumpeter's excellent Sturer Emil but have a query over the Voyager update set I'm using.
Voyager say to add the Propellant Cartridge Case #14 below the shell rack on the left hand side, however, all the photos I have seen of the vehicles interior show no such case there and no markings to suggest one ever was added.
Secondly, they advise adding Case #15 low down forward of the foward bulkhead on the left hand side. They suggest moving the gunners seat to accomodate but I just cannot see how that would work as Trumpeters position appears to match photos and in that position I can't see how the case would be accessable. Can anyone advise where or if these two cases should be fitted.

I can't answer your question but will point out that Voyager can get things quite wrong.
Witness this bin for the Tiger which is based on drawings in a Russian booklet. A little research shows that it never existed.

Always go with photo evidence. Especially with this vehicle as only two were produced. You don't have much lisence for production changes or crew modifications. If it's in the photo, who cares what te instructions say!

Thanks guys,
Both points well taken. I will stick with what the photo evidence shows!
