Building Dragon's Initial production, and I was wondering about the stowage bins that would have been fitted to these early 502 vehicles. I know that originally no stowage bin was present, but when I examine my references, Tigers in Combat 1 and Tiger 1 on the eastern front, I find pics of the initial tigers after they were fitted with bins. Now my question is this- would these be the same stowage bins fitted to other versions of the Tiger, only with the brackets on the sides? Or were these bins of the same design of the two fitted to the sides of Tiger 100's turret? I'm currently considering doing 112 without a bin and the large mammoth displayed on the rear. I would like to know the answer to the stowage bin question, as Tiger 3 in the winter camo would look cool too. Thanks!

Hi...
I just glanced in "Eastern Front" and I don't see any bins on Initial Tigers. Can you give me a page reference for what you're looking at, in either book?
