Hi Magnus,
thanks for the praise :-) This model has no interior, yet there would be enough
space to build one in it. Here are a few picture links to the actual aircraft:

I was surprised that even here in Germany, not to many visitors at the fan event
knew about the existance of this aircraft. I decided to build this aircraft
because I was amazed by its size and the fact that it would be challenging to
build since it has some awkward and difficult shapes in it.
And also, I was fond of the idea, having an aircraft that can carry other
mashinery like canons and little tanks.
The Me 323 has a payload width of 8 studs. My Marder III model:

actually fits inside the Me 323!!
Yes, I would encourage you to build a transporter aircraft. They are really
cool! Tips on how to get started? Well, first you need to know what aircraft you
want to build. After that start to google for pictures, try to find a blueprint.
Then go check you brick material if you have all the pieces you need. For my Me
323 I collected bricks nearly 3 years long!
take care
Klaus
