Hmmm. Since the explosion was violent enough to cause the side armor to separate, you don't really need any stowage drawings. All sheet metal components including the firewall should be torn up and crumpled into unrecognizable tiny bits. Aluminum foil or shredded soda can aluminum should do the trick. Maybe bend up some scale angle irons too (Plastruct or the brass ones).
Darlington Productions' "Tech Intel" books had some photos of the Jagdtiger interior if you can find them, and the Andrew Devey books from Schiffer have all that and more (Volume 1 has the development data). And Schiffer is finally about to publish Spielberger's Heavy Jagdpanzer book in English translation.

Hola Guys!!.
Thanks Gerald for your certainly point of view and for the books info.
I used several materials for tiny pieces and burned pieces as pewter foil,pasticard.
The tank was blow up by his own crew,but only exploded one of the demolition charges inside the crew compartiment,I started to modelled
a couple of GI's looking the destroyed tank.
Regards,

Tomas
