When you think there were 306 Brummbar built there is very little in the way of reference material available,
I assume because it was based on the Panzer 4 chassis, but it had a good reputation as an Assault Infantry Gun and was to be found in the West and the East as well as in Italy while in service.
I also shall watch this build with interest.

The lack of reference is proving to be a challenge..I got the kit 3rd hand with no instructions so placement of the details may be a bit hit or miss..

Good afternoon,
Here is a link which may be of use. ;o) Just maximize the photo in the center of the site and click through to see all around the vehicle.

I think the kit I have is for an early model as the parts I have which I presume are for the drivers compartment has a different vison slit, more like a tigers..

Sir if you have the Tiger 1 type vision slit then you are right it is an early, these were mainly built onto the PZ4 "G" Chassis although a few were built onto the "E" or "F" Chassis, these early models frontal Hull armour was thinner than the later 80mm, at 50mm on top of the front Hull armour.
I know no more I fear,
As has already been said you are pretty much on your own.
