Start with this website, Bill. It should keep you engaged for hours.
http://www.alanhamby.com/tiger.html

After that, try this page (scroll to the bottom of it for Tiger pics. There'll be more than 500 to look at):

Bill, you're most welcome. Beware those pics, though. They draw you remorselessly into this RC tank world, and to its roots in history and technology. ;)

Sadly, Hamby's focus is only on the Tiger 1, but you can still use this site for the KT:
https://www.worldwarphotos.info/gallery ... -3/tiger2/

But if you're an insomniac, and have a few days to spare you could scan through these 7000 plus pics, mostly from the Bundesarchiv; some from the Imperial War Museum, and then there are other personal (family) sources.
They cover WW2 in its entirety but include many (often rare) photos- with plenty of tank pics too. I've seen quite a few Tiger 11 snaps in there on these long square-eyed nights (actually 19:9 :haha: )!.
I'm starting you on 'page' 647, but navigate forwards and backwards by clicking on the blue three digit buttons at the top and bottom each web page. Be warned: some of the photos are really gruesome.
