If you're willing to cut off the three Pilze, you effectively have three different roof plates.

There are optional parts to model any Tiger built after March 1944, including the second bunch supplied to SS Pz. Abt. 101. Befehls vehicles can be built out of the box.

This is the first kit that supplies 100% of the items visible through the rear deck grilles.

Three loader's hatches are included. Doyle and Jentz believe the thick hatch (F7) was in fact never used on Tiger 1s. The other two hatches are the forged and welded versions of the correct final hatch.

The large idler wheel is included but was supposedly taken out of production just before the time period covered by this kit.
