38, 37, 37, 35, 35, 35, 37, 37, and 38 degrees.

Look at these attached photos:

Hello Allan,

Good to see a Tiger II build from Denmark. Hopefully we can have a Nordic meeting someday.

About the MIG mud - I think it´s a bit too much if you compare with the real thing, see below;

Image

Now this is from the Tiger II Porsche at Bovington so it´s equipped with underwater seals (that´s what the square thing in the middle is for) but regarding the "hide" it´s very smooth - no need for MIG mud here.

Regarding your suspension angles - it makes sence - have you tried this out yourself or did it come from someone in the club?


Regards,

Per

hello sweden

It was a recommendation from a member of our panzerklub which also has a KT.

I think he has talked with armortek on this suspension arms (about how much degrees these arm was set).

Ok I know, had the feeling that there had been too much MUD on the vent, it will be remove again.
