    I quite like this pic from IWM website.
    Says it ''courtesy US government'' so wonder if anyone knows anymore about it, be interesting to find out where it was taken.

    Anyway bit of fun, who can ID all the model tanks ? (von Poop is not allowed to play)
    Start in bottom left hand corner & then go clockwise.

    It's an easy mistake to make, considering all the shapes, sizes and markings of Tiger Tanks. Heck, sometimes they even made them look like jeeps!
