Michael, I hear you.
If a dirt cheap 70’s Big T KT crosses my path, may be next year. Too many in que to start another detailed vintage build in the near future. Next vintage build will be no parts restrictions, anything available goes!
It’d get On the Mark PE, Fruilmodel’s, Molak Stucco Putty Zimmerit, 3D headlight, 3D fire extinguisher, 3D printed tow cabel ends w/beading wire tow cables etc. All the assorted parts are in the stash.
Anyway, checking references for the cupola & hatch detailing, I blundered into this image from Achtung Panzer #6 Tiger (discussion purposes only).
Back to the upper track hangers on the Turret…
…now on to the cupola & hatch.
