It is not four corners. One of them is in the middle....... I will have to find one for you.

Don't know why they don't have the draws for the front but I think there is one on the right side and then one in the middle and two back as per drawings.

The late Tiger didn't have them. They where no longer fitted from October 1943
Heres a reference site for the Tiger 1

Hi Tiger Tiger,
When you say 'Late Model Tiger 1' do you mean steel wheels, etc?
As Johnno says, the smoke dischargers had long gone from the hull by then.
Once the steel wheels came along and the turret roof was thickened, however, you then see the single, swivel mounted discharger in the turret roof...
Here's a useful site with a catchy title:
Nahverteidigungswaffe (Close Defense Weapon)

Now, haven't we been here before..?

The S-mine is not the smoke discharger on the turret. They were mount on the upper hull on early Tigers. The closest thing I can think of is like the anti-personal grenade luncher that are fitted on roof the mid/late version Tigers.

Thank you for the info guys much appreciated, from the info you have given i will be making it a mid production model then, just before the change to steel wheels. just prior to the discontinue of the s mine dispensers. At least i know now where to position them too. Thanks again to all who took time to help.

Hi
This is a site I use quite a bit.
http://www.alanhamby.com/tiger.html
If you look under model changes, it gives a month by month list of the changes in spec for the tiger 1.
Hope this helps
