I am in need of pics of the inside rear compartment of the SdKfz 252 for a Stug 3 resupply vehicle. Are there any out there???
Is there an ammo rack or is it just boxes?

Its the ammo square box with the lid on top or without the lid....

The only pic I can recall seeing showed vertical rounds stowage on a 252. It was a whitewashed example, attributed to the Bundesarchiv.

I guess both setups can be seen (depending on the type of ammo) :

horizontal stowage (as found in the Dragon kit) :



vertical stowage :

Frenchy, Thank you so much. My resin kit had nothing, so I scratch built 72 round vertical rack, going by cartridge lengths I found of a 75mm x 508mm for an early Stug. You confirmed it.

Merci Beaucoup
