here is a site that gives some details on the production of the Jagdtiger
http://www.achtungpanzer.com/pz12.htm

Aber also do an etch set for the dargon sd.kfz 186 (ABR35041)

Here is a picture archive that also may help with your kit

Hope this helps

the Early Jagdtiger was the one with the Porche suspension,
then they ahd the Henshell Suspension ones later on and the late Jagdtiger had a machine gun on the engine deck
theres a Porche Jagdtiger at Bovinton tank musium England,(the only one left)
and theres a Henshell Jagdtiger at Aberdeen proving grounds US and at Kubinka Russia
try http://www.jagdtiger.de/index2.htm?http://www.jagdtiger.de/GermanTanks/PzIV-01.htm for photos of the Kubinka one

the Eduard barrel would fit as the Two Dragon top parts are the same and so is the Revell kit, and the Etch kit for the Revell kit would/should include the engine grills other little bits that you get with the Dragon kits

The only difference between the Revell and DMl jagdtiger kits is that the Revell kit has sideskirts and lacks the pe set that comes with the DML kit.I used the Aber grill set on mine and the Eduard aluminium gun barrel.I'm very pleased with the gun barrel as it seems to be scale length and looks good,the Aber grill set is superb and sets the model off nicely.
