Nice work, I much prefer tanks that look like they have seen some action. Most WW2 tanks look a complete mess in the archive pics, the only time they looked immaculate was when they rolled out of the factory. :thumbup: :thumbup:

Thanks! It was just some creative liberties my buddy requested. He had said that he had seen somewhere there was sometime a small mortar tube placed there and wanted one. I have personally found no evidence of such, but it looks pretty cool.

But...but...the disc on the roof IS the mortar tube!

On all the videos I have seen detailing the Tiger 1 it says it is an armored cover for the turret ventilation fans.

That applies to the turret with the tall cupola. A different design completely.
