    A very nice display! That vision block is awesome.

    I agree 100%. For me personally I can’t think of a more infamous tank. There’s obviously the King Tiger, but the Tiger I will always be my favorite.

    Yes, I too love all things Tiger 1, just to be able to fire that great big cannon at your noisy neighbours

    Just a pity the Tiger kept on breaking down..

    Thanks!

    I used a rust removing solution that I had never tried before. The reviews for the product were really great so I thought I would give it a go. With how nice the bolt came out, I think I'll be using this product from now on.

    Just purchased another Tiger relic for the collection. This one comes from Ukraine.

    In my opinion this particular part of the tank held an important role. This is the ejector for the main gun. After the gun fully recoils from firing, this part would eject the empty shell to make space for the next live round. You could almost compare it to the ejector on a simple bolt action like the K98, just on a much larger scale.

    Was it Evapo-rust?

    Yes it was!

    A bit on the expensive side, but it seems to work great.

    Picked up a small lot of Tiger parts from a seller in Ukraine. I was told these come from tanks that were destroyed in the Korsun pocket. The parts were supposedly sourced from two different wreck sites. One site near Lysianka and the other near Myronivka.

    I’m still trying to identify them all, but I can already tell what the tapered washer is. It’s the washer used for attaching one of the torsion bars.

    Finally got around to painting the armored bolt.

    After further research I found out I was mistaken on how this bolt was used. This is not from the turret section as I originally believed, it’s actually the center bolt from one of the drive sprockets. Each tiger would only have two bolts of this size. One for each of the drive sprockets.
