The purpose of our work is to write down a gauge fixed action for the modified cubic superstring field theory in the well-known Siegel gauge. In this theory, there are new gauge symmetries associated with the kernel of the picture changing operator. This gauge is fixed by restricting the space of fields by using the projection operator removing the kernel. We have found the gauge-fixed kinetic term for the Ramond string field. On the other hand, we have not yet succeeded in finding the one for the Neveu-Schwarz string field. It is to be desired to find the full solution to the master equation involving the interaction terms.
