I found this pic in a T1 reference book. Does anyone have any links to more photos of this tab? I would like to model it, but I need more angles of it and clear pics.

What is that, an anchor point for MG cover? Funny all the Dragon Tiger I's are missing this very important detail! Someone should have informed them.

Yes, thats what I gather, it was an anchor point for the MG ball mount seal plug. Someone correct me if Im incorrect. I thought it is very odd that I have never seen this before today after all the books, photos, websites, models Ive seen of the T1

The tab was a feature added as of June 1943 to secure a chain holding a sealing plug for the bow mounted Mg34 ball mount.

This feature may not have been common to all Tigers after that date.

Cheers,
