Hi cfredbandeira,
For a first attempt at a Tiger 1, I think that it is excellent........and crews DID stack stuff on the rear of the Tigers....especially if they were not due to go straight into combat....Look at the photo, I would say that they are TWO 40 Gallon Fuel Drums on the rear....probably as extra fuel tanks for a long drive..you wouldn't want to go into battle with 80 gallons of 4 Star sat over your engine
...... or even 40 gallons in the second photo......The third photo shows the winner of the ' How Many Fuel Cans can You Stack On Top Of A Tiger Turret Competition' Circa :- 1943
.....also, note the extra Tiger track as armour on the left hand side of the photo the 'Empty Frame' to hold it on the right hand side and the panzer III armour to fill the gap in the middle.
