The first Tigers were issued without adequate storage for the crew's belongings. One Tiger, numbered '100', was captured by the Russians and put on show. It had a custom-made stowage bin on the left side of the turret.
This is a small sample from a photograph, showing the bin. Note that it is a small distance ahead of the pistol port. Also, note that there are two supporting strips, welded to the turret; and the bin is held by two bolts in each strip.
This is a small sample from a photograph of the right side of the turret. There is no doubt that these two strips are of the same kind, and therefore a bin was present on the right side also.
Dragon provide both bins in their kit. Unfortunately, they have positioned both bins equally far forward. As a result, the right-hand bin blocks the view from the vision port, which is further back than the left-hand port.
The rear strips are missing, but a photograph exists that clearly shows the remaining weld outlining their position on the turret side. From that, it is clear that the right-side bin was located a little further back than the left-side bin.
These photos show the best position that I can figure for the bin. I also believe that the welded strips on the turret side are a little too long.
