Tiger 1
Just thought I would add these interesting shots of the Tiger I "712" ,mostly from the Axis History Forum ( if I may ). They show a shot of the tank after arriving at Aberdeen in 1943, and a few pictures of it as arriving on the ship and on a barge afterwards, I think. I can see in the shipboard photo that the turret had a rear bin, but looks like it was smashed off a bit upwards on the front of the Mk. IV behind it, maybe by the loading crew. So, it had a turret bin, full width fenders, side mud guards and the air cleaning system on the back. Number is 2500031, I guess number 31 in production. It would be great if the people at Fort Benning could re-create those missing parts accurately, eh ?
