Hi guys,

I tried to search this on the forum, but no luck. I'm building Meng's King Tiger and they fail to mention which vents (?) go on which version. So, for a King Tiger in the Ardennes, which parts should I use?



In this case, I think I should use both A14.




Here, I'm pretty sure it's part F52.

Finally



I think part I should use B17, but I'm not really sure.

Any input will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Ricardo

Thank you both for your replies.

I guess I was on the right track, but I wasn't sure. The pics helped a lot.

I'm still browsing the websites Sudesh mentioned.
