Response to Converting Tamiya's Early Tiger I

While superfically similar, you will have to rework or replace nearly every detail.

The turret shell itself is slightly different in detail and shape around the front overhang.

The turret roof is different in construction and details like the sight. The loaders hatch opening and hatch are different. Obviously the cupola is different.

The gun mantlet is different and the gun can have a different muzzle brake.

The engine deck details are a bit different as are the exhaust stacks. Fittings on the back of the hull are different, as are many of the tools and their locations.

The hull side extensions that form the tow hooks front and back are a different shape.

Late tanks have one head light, no Pfiel filters, no smoke bomb launchers.

The roadwheels are different. I think also the idler wheel and sprocket will have different details.

The tracks are not the same.
