Odd. I hadn't noticed until today, how the rear of the superstructure was slightly 'taller' than the front... Looks correct, now that I really take another look at some other resource, though.

I thought the Ferdinand/Elefant wasn't equipped with a co-axial or turret machine gun . Maybe this is a later edition? The landscape and camo look like Italy...

This must be a King Tiger (Panzerkampfwagen Tiger Ausf. B) or Tiger II for short.

The Ferdinand didn't have a hull/bow MG. This would be an Elefant, which did have the hull/bow MG. The hull/bow MG was just about the only really notable and/or visible difference between the two vehicles/models, but it was enough to distinguish between the two.

The Ferdinand was the vehicle which taught the Germans that heavy armor and a big cannon weren't all that were needed. The Russians rushed them with infantry, climbed on them, and grenaded/molotoved/bombed the royal fuck out of them.

Until the Elefant became available, the Ferdinand crews had to rely on a stop-gap measure, which was an MP-40 SMG with an "around the corner/out the hatch" curved barrel attachment, which was only good for a few magazine's worth of continuous fire, but did allow them to sweep infantry off of the vehicle when they were swarmed.
