Hi all.

I bought Dragon's 6600 Tiger I about two years ago and shelved it, hoping to improve my skills first before trying on an expensive kit.

Cut to now and I took a look at the instructions and content. There are 1-2 sprues along with the spare track links meant for the lower hull not included in my kit. oddly enough - all of the reviews of the kit and the online stores that have instructions show these parts as shown. What gives? Kinda annoying to have to build the Tigers with the spare tracks holder but no tracks to hold... even the instructions and color reference in my kit show them as empty!

Your kit is a second production run. Dragon has a tendency to offer fewer parts with their re-released kits, usually taking out of the box things such as magic tracks, PE, metal barrels and other goodies. They never advertise the fact though those cheeky buggers.
Take a second look and you will see that your kit also misses a PE fret and some metal parts..
