TIger 1 - Gun elevation up-down angle

Post by Steen Vøler »

hi all

I fell over this original Tiger 1 picture showing the angles for the gun up-down elevation.

On my Tiger the top angle seems to be a wrong angle - what do you think?

Have drawn yellow circles of the areas

Hello Steen,

It looks like the front of turret angle is wrongly milled.

Best regards Yves

Maybe this drawing from Roland Mann is of help. He also had an early vintage tiger.
