Also available in 1/25 and 1/35 scale.
On the real Tiger I, the wedge-shaped fuel tanks straddled the engine, one on each side. Their unusual shape permitted cooling air to be ducted into twin radiators located immediately behind them.
The dimensions of these fuel tanks match measurements published by expert Tiger I historian and researcher David Byrden on his website "www.TigerI.info". These measurements were made directly from a surviving, fully restored and operational Tiger I preserved at the Bovington Museum in the United Kingdom. Exact placement of these fuel tanks within the model can be found on Mr. Byrden's website (click here).
If your Tiger I model kit is to be built with the engine compartment all closed up, you don't need the upper fuel tanks. On the real Tiger I, the upper fuel tanks were positioned below the sloped radiator ducts. So when all of the engine components are in place, except for the filler caps, the upper fuel tanks are not visible through the engine deck. Upper fuel tank models are popular components for modelers who are making a tank repair diorama with the engine deck access hatches open and the engine components laid outside the tank.
