Very odd kit.!
A Dragon kit with molded-on tools, and link&length tracks.
Did any of the Tiger (P) vehicles have zimmerit applied? (any photos?).
I'll wait getting my hopes up, until I see it posted on Dragon's site!
regards,
Steen

Yes, 1 or 2 of the prototype VK-4501(P) Tigers were fielded and were fulle outfitted with tools and Zimmerit.
IIRC it was 653 division but I could be wrong.

This kit represents just one unique (zimmerritted) vehicle, so you have only one set of markings. The kit can't build the prototype dark grey Tiger (P).
It was apparently built at the request of the 653rd from spare parts. The turret is slightly different to ordinary Tiger turrets.
Dragon just released a premium edition of this tank in 1/35 so this must be a scale-down.

Accurate turret... interesting, I hope they'll used this turret on all their 1/72nd scale tigers if that's true!
