Hey, guys. Does anyone know where I can get a decent photo of the floor of a Tiger I? Specifically, the floor underneath the torsion bars that cross from one side of the vehicle to the other. In lieu of that, I could do with a description of how they looked. Color, bare metal(?), etc. I am starting a the Border Models Tiger I from Kursk. This will be my first kit from Border. Looking forward to working on it.
The bottom of the hull is only thing below the torsion bars, a false floor was used to prevent the crew from breaking ankles while moving around inside the tank. I believe the floor color was red oxide primer, and of course woren and dirty from the crew troden on it. The turret also has a basket which traverses with the turret that the crew, except driver/ bow gunner, would be stationed at.
Hope this helps and maybe someone will provude a link to or pictures of to help you.
we're modelers it's what we do
I had assumed red oxide, but; one always hesitates to assume. Museum examples have sometimes been restored with little regard for accuracy, as well. I figured I might stumble across a B&W photo online. I could tell which was cremeweisse and then infer the rest was red oxide. Thanks for the reply.
Try this link for some info.

Never go by a museum restoration. Often times they use what they have in hand which most of the time kind of close or incorrect. Can't go wrong with oxide red primer.
Too many models to build, not enough time in a lifetime!!
