Thanks Dave. This update kit is not on Formations website so I sent them an email asking if it is still in production.

I found pictures of "Tiger" on the web last night (from my home computer I don't have the link. It is being looked at by some Germans, apparently abandoned by its crew. It has the fuel bag on it and the sponson MGs. Appear that one needs to take off the rivets on the sponson sides and the MG port plates. I assume that it has the rounded back end but the pictures don't show it.

I guess the best I could do to the Academy kit is make a new back end, that does not appear too hard and of course remove the rivets. It may not be 100% but it would be close.
