Sponson

In the sponson to the driver's left, a number of items were stored. A standard Tiger had a gyroscope and an ammunition bin here. But a Command Tiger had no such ammunition bin. Instead there were a few spare vision devices.

Ustar seem to be unaware of this fact. This kit gives you only the standard tank's contents in this sponson.


Mast antenna

One of the most important items in a Command Tiger was the "Mast" antenna. As a very tall pole, it could be attached to the side of the tank only when parked. Normally, this antenna was broken into three pieces and they were stored behind the driver.

Ustar's kit does not include the Mast antenna or its holders.
