Hello,
Bit of a random question.... adding track armour to my Tiger and was wondering whether they're always asymetrical for the two sides. From all the pictured I've seen, this seems to be the case
Is Tiger 1 track armour always asymetrical?

It is more involved than that,
If you want to get it right you first need to know what month of what year the Tiger 1 you are building was in service,
There are variations dependant on those details.

In April 1943 2 spare track holders were fitted on the left side of the Turret and 3 spare track holders were fitted on the right side of the Turret,
The right side fittings were immediately to the right of the escape hatch and the left side holders were immediately to the left of the Pistol Port.
These are of course while looking forwards.
The maximum number of spare tracks carried on a Tiger 1 Turret is 7.
