Side skirt mounts

If you omit any of the side skirts from this Tiger (or if you build Transport Mode, where they are all omitted) that will expose some details that could be improved.

Side wall of AFV Club Tiger

A row of small mounts were welded along the side of the Tiger for attaching the side skirts. AFV Club have faithfully reproduced them on this model, except for the front one, indicated by "A" in this picture. It should be placed exactly in line with the others, regardless of underlying welds and joints.

This model has some locating bumps to help you align the skirts; two of them are marked "B" in the picture. If these are exposed, you should remove them, because the real tank had nothing here.
