About this detail of the Tiger

HL210 air intake

The Tiger's HL210 engine was topped by three air filters seated in a large duct.

Rye Field have provided these items, with part H36 representing the duct.

But Rye Field's duct has vertical sides. The real duct had slanted sides, with a 30 degree slant on the narrow portion. You can sand down Rye Field's part to give it the correct shape. (Its mold seam needs sanding in any case.)
