Hi Mark,
Really enjoying your build. My Tiger is of the same batch run as yours, 2nd run, early Tiger variant with Feifel filters. My turret is stamped with number 2. I;ve been building it on and off now for the last 15 years! More off than on I hasten to add
Cheers
Phil

The rivets look like hold on a mounting point for the end of the chain which attaches to the plug at the back of the firing tube.
I would guess the plug was detached whilst the canisters are loaded, so that there is no chance of one going off as it was being loaded. If you were stood behind when plugging them back in, it might still be a shock but not ruin your day quite so much.

Cut shallow recess surrounding loaders hatch and started work on hatch and vent

Adhering the handle to the vent did not appeal to me as there is very little surface area....so I soldered it...most "white metals " can be soldered but you need much experience as it is temperature critical and easy to destroy the piece...no need to add simulated weld now

Armortek might have the basic parts from the Tiger 131 release, plus Field of Armor stock Mike Stannard's upgrade parts for it.
