Mid Production Tigers

Mid-production Tiger I's have the second design turret with the smaller cupola but retain the rubber-rimmed roadwheels.

Camo Tiger showing the new cupola with side-swinging hatch. It still has the early model
roadwheels. The lack of Feifel filters would date this vehicle at December '43 or later.

Good view of the revised commanders cupola.
 
Mid Tiger
This is an interesting study. It has dual headlights which were phased out in late
August '43. However it is covered in Zimmerit anti-magnetic paste which was
introduced in early August of '43, most likely making this a mid-August production tank.
