Questions on Tiger tank Equip...

Well I guess that proves that no matter how much research you always have an awe s#*!. I will always be looking at Tigers in a different light. I suppose it is better to build and be wrong than to not make any mistakes by not building at all. Gosh I might have to use that quote as a signature.

Thanks for the words or encouragement,

Chris, just a different point of view here...how many people do you think will know that certain Tigers had their cables on "backwards" or "forward"? I certainly didnt'!

Just saying that probably very few modelers you meet and certainly most "average joes" aren't going to know that your model is "goofed up"---if you even think of it that way? I wouldn't.!   :)

I hadn't done the research a couple of months ago!

I wish I had ask this question a couple of months ago. There were 6 different tanks on that 3rd link that fits what I started with the exception of how that tool box is mounted on the left rear wall. I used the Aber photoetch and mounted it perpendicular instead of ob an angle. I made my tow cables and they are facing to the rear. The 6 Tigers that had them facing to the rear are 111, 112, 122, 132, 141, and 142.

Thanks for the info and the links. I know they will help me and someone that may do a search on this same subject.

Thanks again,

Byrden, thanks for the links. These are pics I've never seen with great detail.

40mm diameter, 1240mm length, and there were 5 of them.

Tamiya's kit unfortunately has the wrong upper deck layout, see http://tiger1.info/kits.html

The cable layout changed during the Afrika period, see tiger1.info/.../cable-direction

So you should decide which Tiger you're building; see tiger1.info/.../501-Africa-list.html
