Kev in Deva Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 (edited) backside...Great picture Bear. This tiger and crew are obviously resting up, indicated by the muzzle cover over the 88mm gun and the rear engine deck hatch being up, probably for maintance work on the engine.And she is also well camoflauged from enemy observation, either as protection agains "Jabos" enemy fighters, or observation by enemy troops, and yet the crew feel safe enough not to mount a watch.Interestingly the Balkan Cross seems to have been repainted a little forward of the original, as you can see a faint outline to the crosses left!!The blue stamp I think indicates its an official Press released photograph for public viewing.Kevin in Deva Edited September 30, 2006 by Kev in Deva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefly Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Panzer IV (or 'Tiger I') without a doubt. She's showing some signs of battle damage, but the crew look happy enough rested-up. As Kevin states, no wonder it was an 'official' photo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefly Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 I meant Panzer VI of course, not IV!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
