Good day gentlemen
Last New Year, I cleaned my room and saw my Trumpeter Sturer Emil again after years of waiting in my small pile of kits. It is 80% built so I decided to continue it and hopefully finish it this time. Luckily, I never painted it before. I have some question regarding its radio and I hope you guys can help me out. I checked on the internet for reference with no luck. I saw other radio but not like the one used in the kit. I want to add some details, like adding wires for the headphones and others that you might share.
Thanks!

Of the photos that exist of the vehicle's interior, they were taken before the addition of any radio. Once operational, it has been assumed that the normal FuG 5 radio (the sort typically mounted in SPGs) was placed in the spot where Trumpeter has its radio.

If you google FuG 5, you'll see diagrams as to the batteries, relays, headphone and speaker set ups. Regardless of what bit Trumpeter put in the kit.

Or even better, spend your time and energy elsewhere and just buy a replacement with full wiring details and auxiliary fixtures here:

Thank you for the reply.
Now i know what kind of radio I will search.
I will add some figures so the radio may be partially blocked from view. Just a few details added will be enough for the purpose and for my skill.
