A7V interior - help needed
Permalink   

Hi everyone. I've found this forum while searching for various WWI material, and first of all let me say its a very informative and cool site !
I hope you dont mind if im not a plastic modeler, but computer graphics. Currently I am working on a (at first) generic A7V tank. Ive found tons of usable photos and pictures here and elsewhere, but i would like to build the inside too, as detailed as possible. Do you know where to look for decent information about the interior ? Or at least the interior of the cab part? Thanks in advance for your help !

in case you are interested this is how it looks now, kinda at the beginning:


Edit: I have another question...I read that the top of the cab could be dismantled and the front/back plates rotated down to open up the cab. But there are hinges between the top and back plates. So, was it opened up like on my second picture ?

The method of folding was like you show in your second picture.

I note that you're working from the Russian drawings. They are very detailed, but not entirely correct. Better to work from the Brisbane Museum drawings of 506 or wait for the Tankograd booklett, which will have correct drawings of the 1st lot Krupps and 2nd lot A7Vs.

Of less use than the drawings from the sound of it, but of some interest perhaps:

Thanks for the links, they are very useful.

@mad zeppelin: Thx for the advice. For the cab i used drawings I found on this site (and i noticed they r different than those russian drawings, i will recheck the main hull shape then too.
