Hello everyone,
Is there anyone planning to visit the Arsenalen museum in Sweden? I need some photos from there and the museum is not responsive for my e-mails… 
Thanks,
Balázs

I was there recently for the second time.
What is it you need?

Interior photos of the LK-II tank’s engine and engine bay. Not a too popular subject to take photos of

I myself do not have any pictures of that specific tank, but here are some links that should help you:

150km for me, so no “just quick in and out” either.

Thanks! I have seen the landships site but this Russian site is new to me. There are some great details. What I have no idea about is how the engine sit on the chassis. All the pictures are taken from the left side - I wonder how the right side looks. There is no picture online of the Daimler M1910 engine used in the LK-II.
Luckily this Russian site shows the underside of the tank. That was something I needed. My other wish is seeing into this part. I’d like to see how it looks inside.
I have the MR Modellbau kit. Well… it has so many flaws… While trying to correct them I have decided to thin the walls and open of the doors to show the inside. That’s why I need photos of these nooks and crannies.

RonW, Uncle-Heavy or anyone - no rush at all. I am working on this project for like 2 years and now all my time and energy goes for the third newborn kid. Just hoping to have the photos once I have some rest

The right side is against a wall, so I think, there are not many pictures. I was there 2017 and at this time it was open -pm me and send me your mail. I have about 6 / 7 pictures

Still hoping someone will visit the museum and is willing to help me 
The Tank Encyclopedia website has a video on the LK-II; besides what appears to be a stock picture with an angled shot from the front that gives a tantalizing but mostly useless look into the engine compartment, at about 9:30 there is a square-on shot into the engine compartment, which is repeated at 12:45 along with a caption describing the engine as a German Daimler-Benz Model 1910 four-cylinder gasoline engine of about 55-60hp, having two 2-cylinder banks bolted to a single crankshaft; unfortunately both of these only show the left side of the engine The video has a cross-sectional diagram of the LK gun tank prototype that shows the position of the engine in the chassis.
There is also a video by Sofilein on the Strv m/21-29 (LK II) at Arsenalen; it has the armor over the top of the engine compartment removed, but you only see bits of it at the edge of the shot until 4:28, when you get some slow pans across the engine compartment; the engine in the vehicle at Arsenalen is different from the engine in the video uploaded by Tank Encyclopedia; the tank in their video appears to be the one at the German War Museum.
Changing my search strategy, I turned up an Inside the Chieftain’s Hatch video on the Stridsvagen fm/21, during which he shows an Strv m/29 (also at the museum) stripped to the chassis, returning to the m/21’s engine compartment at about 8:00 in the video.
I hope that gives you some of the references you’re looking for.

Thanks @srmalloy, I am aware of these videos. As for the Strv m/21-29, it has a Scania engine. I’d like to scratchbuild a DB Model 1910 engine but from these photos it’s not possible unfortunately. That’s why I need some detailed photos taken inside the engine compartment showing parts not visible otherwise. Next to Chieftain’s video I have some photos from different angles but I’d like to see how the engine sits on the chassis for example. How the bottom half of the engine looks like.
Judging by the shadows, the sloped plate is one continuous piece, and the vertical dividers are just flat plates across the outer edge, if that helps..
