This is a project that I've been wanting to do for a while now, I'd like to design most of the Tiger 1 various mantlet variations and I've only got this picture to work from

Currently working on Type G but I was wondering if the re-inforced armour on the bino slots are flat or slanted?! The drawing gives me the impression that it is flat but without further references to work from, i simply cannot be 100%?!

Then Type E, Once again i'm assuming that it's flat but compared the re-inforced armour, these are only raised by a few mm almost like a small bump?!

I'm in a pickle and I would like some input from the Hive mind please?

This is being designed around the HL turret and connection as a direct swap to the standard mantlet.

Have a look at David Byrden's site. He's the acknowledged über Nerd on all things tiger related.
