Well if you ever wondered how the Panzers sustain all that damage down the sides this one tells all. Note the exhaust shields, they would be an interesting field modification for us modellers to recreate.

Hi Phil,

Yes that Panther from the endkampf in East Prussia is interesting.
Not only for its Hinterhalt cammo but how they manage to mount the engine access hatch up side down :shock:

Kind regards
Kent
It´s all in the details!

Interesting old photo of mine showing a round entering the crew compartment of a Tiger 1, the camera angle is looking across the turret floor into the engine compartment, you can just about make out the engine

This is just what I had in mind when I started this thread, getting down on your belly, not your hands and knees and taking brilliant shots like these of your beloved tanks, its not rocket science just a bit of thought and a flask and some sandwitches and a great day out. Photos like these will be in the ether for many years (if not forever) thanks to the Internet and us...and thanks for your contribution Paul ........cheers Phil. :D :D
