Either one = no stealth spraying.
They both pong.
I have previously run the airbrush hose into the house when the compressor has been outside, but still pongs.
These cans........PONG !!

When it comes to Primer I always use Simoniz/Holts Acrylic car Primer, 500ml spray can for £5, the only thing I do is to change the spray head for one from a TAMIYA Spray can.
These cans last forever and come in a range of colours including German Army Red!! :haha: shaun

I've found I needed to sand the ends of the poles so the brass could fit on them, have you test fit them before you put the poles in the holders?

The way I look at it put it where ever you want as that's what the crew would have done I'm sure. On my KT I just left the short one out.

Unless David says otherwise, My understanding is the foreward clamp has the rods showing a small length in front, the rear clamp has a much longer tail and the Butterfly/Wing nuts are placed closest to the Turret in the clamps,
The early Tigers Tow ropes finish over the engine bay and the later Tigers tow ropes finish behind the headlights. :thumbup: shaun

there are only two rods .
That's a 1942 Tiger. The cleaning rod was broken into only 5 parts at that time. Two on the left and three on the right. They were longer, of course.

The short rod would be anywhere the crewman wanted to stick it, assuming he didn't lose it.
The second picture is correct for all 4 brackets on a Late Tiger.
