I had a Revell Tiger I H collecting dust because I lost one of the Feifel filters. This project was reborn when I found out that a few early Tigers did not use the filters. Some scratchbuilding had to be done to accurize the Tiger but as they say: "there's always a first time for everything."

Some in-progress pics:









These photos show the scratchbuilt stowage bin on the turret's left side and some of the details that had to be removed from the hull and turret. The bin is made from an old cola can. These photos are also posted on this thread: https://armorama.kitmaker.net/forums/35274&page=1

More progress on the bin: the cover and the straps are made from the same old cola can. The bottom is made from paper card. Does the cover open outward or inward? Logically it should open outward but I'd like to know for sure especially since I can't find any picture of the top of the bin.
