11 The toolbox is not original. 13 The mesh over the side vents is not original. 41 This is possibly the only German tank at the museum that has its breech correctly painted in ivory. 52 The starter adapter is missing its rod.

What is wrong? Broadly, it's not one of the ones manufactured for Tigers to carry, therefore anything could potentially be wrong with it. I believe that it was made up by the museum and that they didn't have access to an original example. The latches are different to German latches, the lid is the wrong height, etc. etc. It fits in the metal holder (which is original) but that's about as far as its accuracy goes. David
