Hello Steve
On Tigers I mid/late production models, they attached usually 5 track links to the left side of the turret and 2 to the opposite side.
For accurate info about position of track links holders (and everything about Tigers) visit this site:

Hope that helps you

David Byrden's tiger info site [link=http://tiger1.info]http://tiger1.info[/link] is definately a must-save for the favorites! The amount of research and work he has done for the modeling community is quite mind boggling-mad props to him! [sm=thumbup.gif] All the information in one place how to correct any plastic tiger kit!

Hi Stevieg
I used these same hangers on one of my Tigers and once cleaned up and fitted they look great. I had a paper template I got a while back with another set that you placed on the turret and marked out the location points. If you need it let me know and I will try to get it scanned in for you.
Cheers

invest in the books "tigers in combat" they will show that there were alot of different variants in the spare track arrangement. It will also help with other details and give inspiration for weathering and battledamage.

Guys...
There is a template that comes with the Aber 'superset' for the Tiger, and the manual for the set is available online. I know as I've had the set, and retained a photocopy of the manual when I sold my set. It may be slightly off for the HL, but a standard photocopier with % increments could shrink or blow it up to fit just so.

The figure is a 1/16 Forces of Valour item 'Gerdhardt Bergmann',got it off ebay,had to amputate his legs but he took it like a man.
They also do the infamous Jochen Peiper who massacared a Belgium village whilst in retreat.

Nice one, I was looking at those wondering how they'd take an "adjustment" of their legs.
Hmm, now do I go for him or get the Verlinden German Tank Crew for 3 times the price.. decisions decisions! [&:]
