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.

Fantastic work there.....really nice...well done.

I have a question....what is the tube that comes out of the vent on the top of the turret ? Looks great and I would like to fit it to my late tiger.......
Cheers guys

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.
