It's not going to happen, unless you want pictures of a model. The best pics are the ones I showed you already. Also, say Tiger Instead of tig, it's a little confusing.

It's nesseled to the immediate right of the main gun. Has it's own triggering mechanism. Quite a contraption.

Yeah, that's the one I showed to him on Swanny's forum. Well, it's a slightly different angle. I think it's interesting how complex one of these machines is.

The last 5 inches of the muzzle is all that's visible from the outside.  The crewman are

  1. Commander -  controls the vehicles operations - picks targets
  2. Gunner - fires  - tells which ammo for the Loader to load.
  3. Loader - loads
  4. Driver - drivs
  5. Radio Operator - he mans the pintle MG 34 and operatates the radio. He is to the right of the driver

I think I got it right.

Yes, he sat right in front of the commander, but a little lower and to the right. Do you see on the mantlet (from the outside) the two holes (sometimes one)? Those are his sights. He sits directly behind them (about 2-3 feet). The academy kits box top and sides have a great view of this.
