This one is for Allan .. Notice how the engine deck becomes dirty and grimy with oil stains boot prints etc. Plus the heat damaged paint around the hatches and grills . The model is darker from engine grills back

Dale,

Thanks for a nice set of photos that are an insperation to us all. C;early this Tiger spent a long time in the elements to get this worn and rust streaked. also it must have survived some time to be renumbered twice. Could you give us a potted history of the tank's active life?
