I am building the Italeri Sturm Tiger. Beautiful kit. I am at the stage where I want to cover my tewo exhaust pipes with an outer shield. However, I do not know if the covering extends up the entire length of the exhaust fume. Can some supply either a link or photo of the Sturm Tiger rear deack area?
Gracias

Here is a link to a pic of the rear of a Sturmtiger model built by Bob Collignon. Sorry, I'm at work or I could probably post one of the real thing. From what I know of Bob he really does his homework as far as research goes, so I would bet this is correct.

Photos from Achtung panzer and others agree with Kelley and Bob Collignon and Joe Bakanovic.

On the 3-view drawing on the plans for Italeri Sturmtiger #299, the covers are shown covering all the exhaust as is shown by the pics above. Good luck
