About this detail of the Tiger

Loop for hull

Small loops were welded on the hull of the Tiger so that items could be attached. This diagram shows a loop and the tab that it was welded to.

Loop on engine hatch

The kit represents these loops. But this one is in the wrong position.

Position of loop as provided

This position was correct for the first few Tigers, but it was moved long before the Wittman tank was built.

Correct position of loop

This is the correct position of the loop.
