Hi.

I like your Tiger but there are a few things that are a bit innacurate and could be fixed.

You have modeled an early Tiger I based on the gun mantlet, commanders cupola, lack of zimmeritt and a few other details.

Here is what's wrong with your model.

It lacks the triple smoke dischargers on the turret sides.

The circular air vent on the turret roof was placed behind the loader's hatch on early Tiger's, the way you have it now is like was on mid and late models.

Also the early Tiger I did not have the loader's periscope.

The vision slits on the commanders cupola are much too tall, they were very very thin on early Tiger I.  The AH cupola looks more like an early Panther type.

The holes for the binocular gunsight are just a bit too high. They were more in line with the coaxial MG.

You could add some big bolts where the barrel sorround meets the mantlet. There were 6 of them, 3 to a side,  spaced exactly like this  (O)

You also missed a circular dome air vent centered exactly between the driver's and radio operators hatches immediately above the light.

And last I am afraid that Tiger I porbably did not mount an AA MG in it's cupola. I might be wrong but they did not have the standard ring fitting or any other means to attach one.  


I don't know if you will take this as whining but I wanted to point out a few areas that could be made better and more accurate.

NATEDOG, She IS Most Beautiful, And I am All Kinds of Happy to see her, But I am afraid GRUNHERZ is quiet right, I was a Tank Geek long before I was a Plane Geek, and I noticed these things as well, but manely the AA MG issue, It would Be cool if you could make some of the mod's he has sugested:)

                   
                                                TY again:)

[Kratzer]

Dorks.

[Gixer]

I just hope that it has better armour then a M3!!!

As for camouflage schemes I would like to see something like this added to the Typhoon.

Nice but nahhh, I think you are missing Gixer's point.  Take a look at the camoflauge Gixer mosted more carefully and tell me what you see

[Dessy]

Yes yes I know; if you stare at the P-38 long enough, not only will you see those, but also a kangaroo and who knows what else

[DrDea]

Dont forget that this model tank also had a rotating framus pivot attached to the dween cam that co induced the belvin panels coaxil recriprocating allignment.Wouldnt be natural without that part.

I've been squinting at that P38 for half an hour and still can't see a Kangaroo let alone anything resembling the female form.

Even if I could see a Kangaroo they don't do much for me, even though I'm half Australian. Fiesty beasts, kick and punch like a mad women.

" It lacks the triple smoke dischargers on the turret sides "

I always thought those were some anti infanty devices that dropped grendade  outside when enemy troops were on the tank.
