@vonpoop :D I saw a similar picture on a 2004 Model Magazine where it showed a closeup of those damaged rear exhaust tanks - I was amazed after more than 50 years the damage is distinct. The turret ring damage though is probably even more essential as that was how the 131 was knocked out :) Its surprising this Tiger I was an early model and it is practically the only Tiger I that can still function
if you were in a sherman at this time...youd be burned up.....and this tiger was coming in to shit on your flames....King of the Beasts......the Legendary Tiger!

They've chosen to preserve the battle damage, as it's kind of an essential part of 131's story.
Personally, I fully approve of that decision, much better than a sterile full restoration.

Appeal on for £40,000 more restoration/preservation work on 131.
Visit Bovington's website for details.

if you were in a sherman, thats where you wanted to be. the armor around the engine was its weakest, you disabled it you had a fighting chance.

@vdub2002 Depends which Sherman you were in, Sherman firefly could take out a tiger from any angle even at long range
