I'm currently working on the Meng Tiger II with interior and it tells me to add a mount for ammo pouches to the hull roof around the turret ring.

I was looking at some interior pictures of the Tiger II at Samour and there seems to be no ammo pouch mounting.

As such i was wondering if this mounting is accurate for a Tiger II?

This shot from the Patton Museum shows the empty rack in place.

I see, cheers. I suppose it might have been an addition in the "later" tiger then or the one and samour just doesnt have it.

Never expect two German tanks to be identical.

The Saumur Tiger II is hardly complete, lots of stuff missing.
Probably from testing, measuring, reverse engineering, etc.

Not at that price, it won't. You can purchase Dave Parker's AFV Modeller Superking series of articles in PDF form, starting with AFV Modeller Issue 46 for only 1 GBP each.

Also, bookmark :: TRUMPETER TIGER 2 :: A BUILD & INFO RESOURCE!. Everything you'll need to know about modelling the King Tiger can be found there. And, as Sudesh pointed out, the Saumur KT is definitely not the best reference.
