Bovington Tiger 1 Photos - Underside
Posted: Sat Nov 13, 2010 10:20 pm
This is my third set of pictures for the Underside of the Bovington Tiger 131. These are the parts you don't usually get to see. I see that some people have chosen to super detail the undersides of their Tigers. At the moment, I’ve not decided to do this myself, but you never know. I hope you find these useful.
Here’s the joint between the Rear Plate and the Floor Plates
Here’s the underside of the Front Mudguards, showing both the curved shape of the Upper Front Panel and the welded joints.
Welded and rivited joints between the Panier Floor and Hull Side
OK you experts out there will spot straight away that these pictures below are from the underside of a King Tiger and not the Tiger 1. Unfortunately, the engine access plates had been removed from the Tiger 1, but I’m sure that the King Tiger covers are very similar in shape and size to the Mid and Late Tiger 1's. Maybe someone out there can confirm this.
