Does anyone make an aftermarket conversion to convert the Dragon Tiger Initial into one that served in North Africa? Or even an Early Tiger, if possible? I can't bring myself to actually open and work on the Cyberhobby kits I have....

Hi mate, sure you can! I'm converting a Dragon Initial Tiger (kit 6600) to a African Tiger I. Though it's not a specific kit for the Dragon one (in fact, it's for Tamiya's Afrika Tiger),

I use the Voyager African Tiger set for it. You need to score some early Feifel filters though...sadly Voyager do only the late single chamber Feifel filters. But you might use the ones from the Tamiya kit

This is the upgrade kit btw:


Cheers

You can pick up a early Tamiya Tiger,they have the African one as well as a Kursk Tiger,not real expensive either,but also not as detailed as Dragon,but you can buy upgrade sets.
