I suppose this is a refitted Elefant and that means the scene should be after the Kursk battle. But you can call it Italian as well

You noticed the hull machine gun.
I am aware that the original machines did not have them.
Let's say this crew were switched on and saw the light.

Indeed.
I like the figures very much, superb camo IMHO. But you could still add the slings to rifles.
Have you meant to show a knocked out SPG? Because the tracks on sprockets are so loose.
I also imagine, that the grass or at least some of it should be left on the track marks, not just the bare soil. Some of it would be ripped off and collect on tracks which are rather clean in this case.
Just some observations for this lovely build.

Thanks for your comments.
I take on board what you have observed. This is why I enjoy feedback as it gives fellow moddlers who are maybe more experienced than I the chance to observe and comment on things I have maybe missed or not thought about. The torn upgrass is a good example.
