| Subject: | Wespe chassis problem |  |
| Date: | Apr 7, 2003 |
| From: | Piotr Wypior | |
Hi guys,
Would anyone tell me what’s that rectangular thingie welded to Wespe chassis (left/right side lower hull,visible on the lower hull walljust behind the idler wheel? (look in the pic below, taken from Panzermaniacs site,photo courtesy of Fabien Descamps):

Was this thing a feature of early or late Wespe? What was it’s purpose? The Tamiya Wespe kit lacks this detail and my Aber detail set for the Wespe orders me to glue a PE-shaped thing in that place which appears to match that detail in this picture above.
My second Q: How many Wespe SP guns were equipped with the net surrounding the main exhaust muffler? Aber instructions say some vehicles sported that feature, but I din’t know again if those were early or late versions.
Any tips greatly appreciated,
Regards,
Piotr |
