The shovel

To the home page

Tigers of the "Early" version had two clips on their glacis plate, intended to store a large shovel. Photos of a typical Fehrmann Tiger, numbered "F01", clearly show that it had these clips, as we would expect.

However, the CAD images of Takom's model show a bare glacis plate. That is an accuracy error.
