I’ve done a little research into this vehicle, and now I can say that the interior displayed by Amusing Hobby is… flawed.
e.g. they basically give us the turret interior from Tiger 131.
They SHOULD have backdated to the very first Tiger H (which were different) and then they SHOULD have swapped the hydraulic motor for an electric motor, and then they SHOULD have removed the turret floor (the Tiger P didn’t have a floor) and then they SHOULD have added the large shell-catching bin where the floor was.
In other words, they skipped on the research and they’re hoping we won’t notice. But those of us with the Spielberger book, will notice.
As for the hull, they apparently did some research there. Their hull front interior is based on actual Tiger P information.
But…that information is photos of the wooden prototype (ref. the Spielberger book). Amusing Hobby didn’t have a finished tank to look at. Consequently, the dozen or so items of standard tank equipment that should be in the hull, are not. I don’t see them in the CAD images.
Come on, Amusing Hobby, even if you don’t know where the loose items go, you could at least put them in the kit and make a guess at it!
They DID add the second radio set. But nobody knows where it was placed in Tiger 003, so Amusing Hobby took a guess at its position (left rear corner). I’m not convinced it’s a good guess.
In summary, if you hope this kit will correctly reproduce the insides of Tiger “003” - which were largely unknown up to now - sorry, but it won’t. They remain unknown. We have enough information to say this kit is wrong, but we don’t have enough information to correct it.
