i see the damage do to it earlyer , it still need work on the back

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.

Nothing like listening to the real thing and seeing it in motion on modern vid

@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

german tanks were the best and are still the best

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

Anybody else notice that this is the same Tiger that they modeled the Tiger in BF1942 after?
