Very nice. Really like the cammo scheme. What kit did you use? OOB or any enhancements?

Did AFV club specify three track link holders for the right side of the turret?

Very cool looking camo & the tracks look great. I agree with Karl that a few branches would really be neat. The only thing that seems out of place is that loose(?) 55gal drum rolling around on the rear deck.

I am sure 211 had 4 extra spare tracks on the right side turret equaling 6.

You can put a lot of extra tracks on a Tiger turret by linking them together. But I'm not asking about the number of track links. I'm asking about the track link holders; two small clips that hold each end of a track link.

Thanks very much. I used the AFV Club Kit I had kicking around. I used a set of Brass fenders, which I soldered from ET Model, the TMD Spare track links set, AFV Club individual track links set for the Mid/Late Tiger, Griffon Model tow cable and track changing set which came with brass gun cleaning rods.

Yes I plan to add the branches when I do the Vignette. The fuel drum is from a Tamiya set and I put it on there as there was one on the rear of the actual tank as well.
