How does this one differ from Tiger 131 they announced a while back?

Instead of getting Dragon 6600 initial Tiger I+ AM Conversion set, this would be a better solution. I think...

According to what David Byrden told me, this Tiger and 131 are completely different. I'm personally glad to see it.

IIRC this is the one with all the DAK modifications whilst the 131 release is just a standard early-mid production Tiger with 131 markings included.

Not merely a "standard Tiger with 131 markings"...Tamiya provides that. Dragon worked hard to capture the specific details of "131" as it was in 1943 - without the changes made in the restoration.
See these
details of Dragon kit 6820.

Figures. I just finished collecting an Initial Production Tiger, The New TMD conversion set for 501 Tigers, and markings. Well, I suppose the only thing better than one 501 Tiger is two!
