Newbie questions

[JTS]

Hi All

      You will all probably laugh reading this but where exactly does the "c" hooks go on a tiger 1? and also two holes on (just above front mud guards) my HL Tiger 1 does anyone know what they are for (does something fit into them)?

Sorry for asking such newbie questions and thanks for any info

I believe the C-hooks were only on mid-late tigers, from about August '43, they were mounted on the upper deck near the front, the where the feifel cleaners are later on.

The holes i think were for holding up camo to hide the tank from the air, though I may be wrong. Im sure someone will correct me. 

Cheers,
Rik
