Does anyone know if all the hatches on this kit are molded closed?
Am looking for a 1/72 early production tiger and it looks about the only one that I have found.
Or is there a conversion for the Dragon initial tiger that comes with side fenders and feifel air cleaners.

Best regards
Karl

There is also Revell 03108 but will need corrections.

You might want to check the following link

From what I've seen, all the available models have their hatches closed except of the commanders cuppola.

There is a detail set from MIG productions 72-045 you might want to check too, and Part's PE set P72-092 which you can see in the followink link.
