Dragon's Tiger I late question

The same chassis could be used for both purposes, so you should still have the antenna base on the left side.

Just one comment though. This I got from the guys after posting my Wittman Tiger. They said the antenna on the left side of the tiger's body should not be there. The antennas should be on the turret, which you have  already and the one on the right. I'm not sure if this applies to your Tiger. Nice build. I like the camo work.

These command tanks should have two antennas, not three. Dragon gives you three and shows pics with all three fitted, which can confuse things. There were two versions of the Command Tiger. Both had the 2m antenna on the turret. The SdKfz 267, used by Coy and battalion commanders had the star antenna on the right of the hull. The 268, used i think by FAC's had the 1.4m antenna on the left of the hull.

Back from the dead alright.  I was hoping Yann had gotten back to the bench.

Me too.

This one rises from the dead almost exactly 5 years later to the day!

I just glued them at their ends.  Seems to work out ok

Oh I understand now. I assembled mine in the 'neutral position, 12 oclock. It seemed to work out perfectly:

That is the answer I've expected but what is the "normal position" of that arm.  Straight down or all the way to the back?

I don't really fully understand your issue, but, as I remember on my kit, the roadarm angle was controlled by the positioning of the working torsion bars. The torsion bars are located by gluing in anchors on the inside of the hull? As I remember, the torsion bar assembly was a little different that the Initial Tiger. Steve

I'm sorry, I'm a french canadian and sometimes I just have a hard time explaining what I have to say.  I have no problem with the torsion bars which fit perfectly.  I'm talking about the last wheel at the back, which is the iddler wheel.  There is no torsion bar for that part and there is a pin inside the hole to limit the rocking action of the swing arm, but that pin is smaller than the groove in the swing arm so once in the hole, that swing arm can partially rotate to have the idler wheel more toward the front or more toward the rear.  Here is a quick made drawing to show what I'm talking about.
