Anybody got any info on this beast? or even pics?
There's 3 of us here building this tank and it would be nice to get any
info on it. Thanks

Here's a nice shot of one at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds.

I've got some photos that I just need to sort out before posting. BTW the restored Elefant at Aberdeen lacks zimmerit as all Elefants had it.

Ah this is how it looks now. I just watched a month ago that series on Tank Overhaul, where they took it inside to fixer up after 60 years of sitting outside. It was captured in Italy, but was also a survivor from the battle of Kursk. They also found out how it was KO'd, notice the hit marks painted silver on the gun mantel. The hit that did it is over on the right, front sprocket (right side of pic). It stopped the tank from traversing so they bailed.
The big thing i didn't like about the show was only one quick shot of the interior, and only part of it.

Thanks Wustenfuchs
