The SiG33 has got to be the most UN-aerodynamic vehicle in history; fortunately, tanks need not be aerodynamic! However, for some reason or another it's one of my favorites. The Dragon/DML kit (#6042) is nicely molded with many parts including photo-etch. Assembly is easy and quick. Out of the box, it makes a nice kit, but I decided to go a step further here and there. Since I was going to display the tank with hatches open, I went to work on a partial interior. I added lots of small details and the rear assembly of the gun from a cannibalized Verlinden SiG 33 (#1001). Crank handles, radios, boxes, and levers were scavenged from the parts box and glued in logical areas. The interior was then sprayed an off-white with a touch of pink. A wash of Burnt Sienna oil paint and a drybrushing of flat white, and the tank was ready to be closed up. Outside, the fenders were replaced with those cut from lead foil. Hatches were detailed with spare parts for levers and copper wire handles. The stowage bin lid was replaced with a thinner one cut from plasticard. The bin was filled with equipment and gear.
