Hi everyone, I'm new to the world of Armor building and need some assistance. I'm currently building a 1/72 Dragon Ferdinand for a Kursk Group Build (I will post progress photos soon) and I'm going to start the weathering portion of the build soon and i would like to know if anyone has a cutaway view they can post or link to one. I just want to know the layout of the tank. Where the engines sat, fuel tank, exhaust, etc.. I hope some one can help and I think if anyone can they would be on this board.

Thanks in advance

I noticed that the rounds are stored upside-down. Is this correct for the Ferdinand/Elefant? All other German SP's had the ammo stored projectile upwards (when they were stored vertically!).
