Hi'yall. Well for christmas i got a really nice model of a carro armato m13/40. the kit is nice, but doesnt have an interior. Ive decided to scratchbuild the interior, obviosly, so could anyone help me out with some reference? ive scoured the web, all the usual tank reference picture sites, (toadmans, primeportal, etc...) what i really need the most is a cutaway or sketch showing the general layout of the interior, because a lot of parts in the m13/40 tank were used in other more referenced italian tanks, but in different places in the hull. i guess this is just a call for anyone who has reference pics on their computer or something, seeing as ive exausted all internet ones.
pretty please with a cherry on top?

these might help

there are some interiors of other Italian tanks. Perhaps they share some features and you can use the pics too

I believe these pics from Flickr show the same tank as in Roy's link (Aberdeen Proving Ground M13/40) :
