Nice Tiger...but on the log.....better go out to the back yard and cut a 10mm wide branch or twig. Lash it to the side with ROPE, not special brackets, these were locally felled trees and carried to pull the tank out of a stuck situation. Only need one, as they were lashed across both tracks. Chains are not carried on tanks....the log could be a use for them, but not carried on front where they can hang up on everything and cause big problems. They would be in a stowage bin, or better, secure the log with them. Bear in mind, they are heavy, so keep off the overloaded turret. Looks like you are replicating a particular tank...change the turret numbers to the German system. Plenty of nice photos in Squadron Signal Tigers in Action. If this a first tiger, nice job.
