: In 95% of the cases, I try to use
: measurements. In the case of s.I.G.
: (Sturminfanteriegeschutz) 33 B I have
: not been able to locate any
: measurements. However, did have lower
: hull completed from another project
: that was all done measurements, so this
: was my base.
:
: I did obtain some 1/35 scale prints of
: a s.I.G 33 in Panzer Tracts No. 8, and
: that was my starting point.

: I scan the s.I.G 33 prints at a high
: resolution and insert the images into
: AutoCAD. I adjust image to reference
: the Hull distance at a 1-1 scale. I
: traced the lines, created 3D shapes
: from the bodies, and rotated them in 3D
: to the correct axis and angles. Just if
: you were to building a real vehicle
: from steel plates.

: Although the prints are a great help,
: they seem to be of a second generation
: s.I.G 33 and not the first 12 that were
: built and sent to Stalingrad. The Tank
: Museum at Kubinka, Russia states that
: the s.I.G 33 they have on display was
: capture at Stalingrad and I believe is
: the only surviving one from WWII. The
: Kubinka s.I.G 33 has some differences
: from the Panzer Tract prints, most
: notably is the Kubinka s.I.G has no
: main gun barrel support and a different
: headlight mount. These are not my
: pictures of the Kubinka s.I.G but are
: some that I found on the web. I will be
: returing in May to Kubinka and will
: take more detail pictures at that time.
