For early and a little different, you could do a tank that fought on Sicily (sPzAbt 504 with the Herman Goerring Division) or one from Tigergruppe Meyer. The latter was a company with some unique markings. I think you can get stencils for both from rctank.de. Each used early Tigers. For mids, I'm partial to those that served in Italy.

Here's a starting point for determining units and where they served. http://www.fprado.com/armorsite/tigers.htm

Looks like it is coming along nicely. How about some more details and impressions of the Mato parts. Ball bearings in wheels? Good fits, or are they loose? Require any clean-up work on the parts?
