Col. 7,051 Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 Do you still have those parts Leo? 'Cause that looks as if it'd be a sod to scratch-build a replacement for. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure I saved it somewhere..... Anyway, if I can't find it I'll ask a friend to make a resin copy. I have another tiger here. If nothing works, I'm counting on you to supply me with 10 feet of rope. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

'Tis indeed the jack. That looks like a Tiger Ausf E (Sd.Kfz 181),so would probably be fitted with the 20TL version,see below. https://www.panzerbasics.com/panzer/01_basics/03_Equipment/jack.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Either that or some idiot tankie forgot to put it back in place after use. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
