I hope this is not taken as a complaint BUT if the drawings were to the correct dimensions of the 1/16 Tiger 1 plan view of that Tanks body it would be a simple task to print off a template that could be used to carry out the fix.
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:

not drawing to scale, but I think sufficiently explicit with the dimensions, to make the midification without worries, it is simply necessary to cut a strip of 12 mm on the front of the upper frame and transfer it behind, to do the same on the base of the turret

Oh that info is most definitely interesting...............a very simple plan on how to make the Tiger a much better one.
For me, one of the most simple explanations of what the problem is, and how to fix it.

Just so I understand what is going on. The Turret on the HL is in the wrong place?
