Was there ever a command varient of the Kind Tiger w/ Porsche Turret?

I am looking to add a couple of large anntannaes (sorry for spelling, in a rush!).
And I painted the numerals a little to large! So it could be the commanders tank, couldn't it?
Would that work?

Probably one simular to the Jagdpanter variety. Check for a star antennae. I think the regular panther is the only one to pull out the gun and stick a wooden simulator in its place.

If I added two Crows Foot ant. and painted the numerals big (which I already did) I could maybe infact have a command varient of the tank. It could be the tank that the battle commander rode in and gave orders to the other little tanks.


That would work wouldn't it?

I think the Command variant would have the long-range Fu8 radio and the sternantenne that was mounted on a flexible base on top of a porcelin insulator protected by an armor cylinder mounted centered at the end of the rear deck. :-)
