Hi. Anyone built this Dragon Tiger I, kit number 9142? The barrel muzzle looks a bit oversize compare with the Aber 35L026. See link for picture. Which one is more accurate ? Thanks for your input.

The Tigers had a small and a big muzzle brake . The small one was used from April 44 on . The large one would be before that . Now which one is dimensionally correct . Maybe somebody can come up with some measurements . I don't have any .

The Aber one is for the late Tiger. Dragon is correct for an early tiger
