Default a great tank detail for hl tigers

well, on many tanks, such as the tiger 1, on the gap between the manttle and the turret, i took that palstic sheeting that on binders, cut it to size. then i drilled 8 holes that will be place for screws to hold in place. you have to leave some room for the up and down movement of the barrel.

Another nice detail i added that i saw on a early tiger one was a 2nd machine gun on the right side of the barrel, i have only found one example of this on a tiger at a tank facility in portolla valley california at littlefields tanks

All Tiger 1's and Kings with the exception of most, but not all, of the command versions had the coaxial MG on the right side of the mantlet. On the command versions the coaxial MG orifice was plugged.
Nice work on the rain shield.
