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.
