Another great update Christian. Have you stated on the tracks yet or are they just the rubber ones?

Thank you, Bob!

I would be curious to hear if you have experience with assembling the subbuilds at the end, cf. step 18 in thse instructions?

Hi Christian

A25 is not used, D11 instead?

The storage boxs have no location on the fenders, they just sit between the last fender support and the rear lamp.

To build up the assorted fenders, superstructure etc i use small pieces of tape to hold together it is tricky!!

For future ref, the radio on the rear wall should be located close to the right, it was used by the loader. Only photo i can find shows it on a shelf


Cannot find a lot about the radio??

And yes plans are poo lol

Hope this helps

According to Spielberger, the Ausf. A had an UKW-Empf. h radio, which stand for Ultrakurzwellen-Empfänger (literally “Ultra-shortwave receiver”, actually “FM-receiver”) but I can’t find anywhere what the h indicates, let alone more information on this device. Given the generic name, it’s very hard to search the Internet for it — try UKW-Empf. h in Google and you mostly get suggested results like “ukw empfang handy”, meaning “FM reception cellphone” …
