there are only 3 operational Tiger tanks left in the world, and you will NOT see them in a movie. What you will see is what you are looking at in this photo...a T-34 that has been fitted with outer paneling to make it look "similar" to a Tiger tank. Anyone that knows anything about tanks will immediately know this isn't a Tiger, but the average person will never spot the differences. To them, a tank is a tank.

I wish the Bovington Museum would allow 131 to be put into a film, I would love to see a real Tiger in action on the screen.

Agreed with you all. Blasphemy, actually. If your choice is to make this tank, or no tank at all... then make no tank. Such an insult.

The larger give aways that its not a Tiger I tank is that the real tiger tank has its drive wheel in the front and the muzzle-break on the real tank was a bit larger.

T-34. Crewmen too small proportionally speaking. Why all the men had to crouch next to it when it was used in SPR.

Altough the Zimmet coating looks good.

The dead give away are the wheels, there should be 3 on an axle overlapping.

Certainly not a Tiger - as already posted, not the correct turret/ chassis alignment or, indeed, scale and the and tracks aren't right at all.
Looks like a tank from the battle scenes in Saving Private Ryan where Miller's Men attempt to halt the Germans and hold the bridge.

I really don't think that's a Tiger. It looks like a redressed T34. For one, the turret looks to be too far forward for a tiger.. and the front treads and armor slope do not appear to match those of a Tiger tanks.
