The frame on the Rye Field model

The earliest Tigers had two frames welded to the hull rear wall. There were various bolt holes in these frames, allowing mudguards and tail-lights to be attached to the vehicle. This photo shows the right-hand frame on the Rye Field Tiger kit.

The frame on a Tunisian Tiger

Here is the corresponding part on a real Tunisian Tiger. The shape is different at the place indicated.

The left-hand frame on the model has the same problem, but it is hidden by the tail-light.
