Porsche King Tiger NO 11 aerial tube placement

[John Glover]

Hi guys.Working on reproducing this as close as i can and have being looking very closely at the real photos available of this tank.I noticed that the aerial tube is not mounted in the normal place ,but is mounted to to the front of the tank.As most of you know this tank was one of the first off the production line that were rushed into service and had many early features such as the rear deck snorkel,squared off exhausts and exhausts shields that were quickly deleted as further production of the Porsche type continued.P,S I know that they should not be called a Porsche but lets not confuse the issue.Any help on shedding some light.Regards JOHN.

There are a number of Porsche Turret Tiger 2 photos on this site, John. You may find some details here:

I also like to look at the German archives for photos. The problem is (and I found this trying to find overhead projections of Comet tanks), that most tank pics don't give a good view of the turret deck.
Have a look, anyway.

Here's a blueprint, but it may not have the detail you need.
