Thank you! The front of the vehicle is more or less conjecture. The pictures of 132 only show the rear. But other pictures of s.Pz.Abt. 510 show that this unit used a unique method of holding the spare tracks on the lower hull front: they welded a U-shaped bar between the two hull side extensions. These bars were additionally stabilzed by two more short bars welded to the hull front. So there was space for nine links separated into groups of three. I used Evergreen U-profiles for this.
The track links welded to the drivers' front plate were often attached in this fashion.
All in all chosing this kti for a return to the hobby turned out to be a mistake. The guy who sold me the Tamiya kit was well-meaning, thinking I wanted a hassle-free build out of the box. That I became a rivet counter he couldn't anticpate.
Lots of things wrong with this kit. Most egregious is the 25mm roof plate and the 700mm idler wheel. The tracks are single link, but the guide teeth are solid. I tried my best to correct the turret roof.

Now I think the model is ready for painting. I left off the two rear armour plates for now, otherwise it'll be difficult to paint the louvres and the sides of the engine compartment. The headlight is also kept for later, and the superstructure roof is not glued on yet. I'll paint the lower hull and running gear first, install the tracks when they are burnished and weathered, and only then I'll do the upper hull.

This is a shelf queen I started ages ago. Maybe it was a bit too ambitious for a project intended to be a return to the hobby.
In Wolfgang Schneider's book Tiger im Kampf I (Tigers in Combat, volume 1), I discovered a fascinating picture of a Tiger of s.Pz.Abt. 510, having broken through a bridge. Not many details are visible, apart from it being a Tiger I of the last production in I think July 1944, because the pilzen are visible on the turret roof. The rear mudguards are missing, probably removed by the crew or torn off in the accident.
I bought quite a lot of after-market parts as a resin gun barrel with protective cover, a protective cover for the hull machine gun, PE engine grilles and PE side mudguards. Friul tracks and metal idler wheels of the correct size for a late, actually last production Tiger I.
The arrangement of spare track-links was typical for the Abteilung 510: 3 groups of 3 links, held by a U-profile welded between hull extensions for the towing eyes. The additional track links on the fighting compartment front were also quite common, so I put them on.
The Zimmerit was done with Vallejo putty and the PE tools from Tamiya. It's quite shallow, but I wanted it that way.

OK, thanks for the update! But AFAIK, it was never the 1941 version that had issues, but the 1942 version. The turret itself was OK, but the upper hull was wrong, which meant that the turret sat not correctly, and it didn't fit the lower hull.
