An "early" Tiger in 35th would be a popular choice, as only Tamiya and Italeri have offerings permanently available.
Unfortunately the research on this one seems to be questionable, if we're seeing a final built example. The turret has some "mid" features that don't belong on an "early".
Also, some of the parts are poorly rendered, e.g. the Feifel tubes and the S mines.
Will engine deck meshes be included, I wonder?

David I believe this is a work in progress and I was a little surprised to see the Feifel filters as I believed that was a desert feature but I have been wrong before. However I know that Tiger 1 kits attract those that love them and those that hate them but we shall see what this one will attract.

The Feifels are correct for both of the decal options. However, there are a couple of other items that should be left off depending on the decal choice. I wonder if the kit allows for that.
