The Taigen early tiger 1 kit converted to a mid command tank. Elmod board ,Brass walterston gears servos for the turret elevation and recoil. Lots of brass, fenders skirts tool brackets etc. Lowered the turret , Tamiya ones are correct.

Command version as a mid , most of the changes are at the rear. The Taigen build it yourself kit has one advantage you don't need to pull it apart to fix the turret centre issue.
