Hello gentleman,
I am going to order some cavalier zimm for my dragon jagtiger porshe production, kit #6351. The zimm they have is for dragon jagtiger kits #6050 and 6051. My question is will it fit mine? Or is there some subtle differences between the porshe and henchel production types as far as the zimm fit goes? (which im assuming that the zimm they are selling is for.)
Any help would be great.

It should work either way, the Jagdtiger was built by Krupp, the only difference I know of is the 'Porsche' vehicles used a Porsche designed suspension system that used only eight single road-wheels while the 'Production' or 'Henschel' vehicles used a nine wheeled system but had no changes to the super structure of the vehicle. Only a small number (less than twenty) used the Porsche system. Adding to this less than a hundred Jagdtigers were even built.

Egh, so stupid, why did I type Krupp? Jagdtigers were built by Steyr/Daimler/Puch.
