Hi, There are a number of websites where pictures of early, mid and late Tiger 1s can be found, A few things are apparent , the early Tiger at the rear had a full Feifel air cleaner system this was reduced to the point of invisibility in the late model, The exhaust shrouds were changed through the models, the wheels on the early model had rubber tyres, the later had steel wheels, the turret had a number of changes including the cupola changing to a lower shape where the hatch swung open rather than lifted up, the later cupola also allowed the fitting of an AA mount for an MG34, a ventilation fitting was mounted behind and central to the cupola on the early model this was moved in the mid range model to the centre of the turret roof, the pistol port was altered in shape and location on the side of the turret through time, the early model had a step fitted to the drivers side of the spare track rail with a grab handle above on the body, this was removed when it was found that Soviet soldiers were using the step and handle to climb on and put grenades through the hatches and vision ports!!!! the drivers vision slit on the early model had two holes immediately above it for use when running closed down, these were filled in on the later Tunisian campaign Tigers, the headlights were first fitted as a pair one each side on the top of the glacis at each corner these were later moved down and finally one only was mounted centrally on the glacis, There were many changes made to the Tiger 1 through its production run and I have mentioned just a few, Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! shaun
