A buddy asked me the following question, and I did not know the answer. Near the end, on the bridge, are some tanks - what are they? The top looks like Tiger type, but the tracks and drive are not correct.

It was a "kit-bashing" (though, pretty good, in my opinion). The lower hull, suspension, drive-train, etc was a T-34. The upper hull, and most of the rest of the exterior, was built to look like a Tiger. For the most part, I feel, they did a great job.
You are quite correct. It's at the Bovington tank museum and it is in running order. It's a bit battered on the rear exhausts, but it is the real deal.
