My wife has bought me the kit as a present.
Looking at the info on Tiger1 website it looks like you could make a good representation of Wittmans Tiger 007.
What do you guys think please?

There’s a problem with Tiger 007 - we don’t know exactly its configuration.
It was built in a transitional time of Tiger design, and to make things worse, Command Tigers were often “out of sequence” with their version features.
So, I can’t say for sure if 007 had the 25mm roof or the 40mm roof. But in the latter case, I can say it would be the original 40mm roof made from a single plate.
I’m not even completely sure that 007 was a steel wheeled Tiger.

Thank you.
Are there any command tanks that you know of that can be built from the kit and if so can you please supply details like which type of roof etc. if possible.
I could make the Command version OOB and make my own stencils for the numbers on my Cameo 4 cutter.

I have decided after reading your review of the kit that I will just make a late.
I see a reply from you regarding Tiger 214 from PzAbt 101 as follows:
“As for 214, they have three photos of it. It had;
Steel wheels
Front hull cutouts
A spare track pole across the lower hull front
The 40mm turret roof
No “Pilze”
The large muzzle brake
The reworked hinge on the escape hatch (one bolt removed)
In other words, 214 was from near the beginning of the Late batch.”
my question is do I use part G1 with zimmerit or X7 without please?
