unlike the tristar ,Dragon’s 1/34th brummbar belong to mid-production model, while tristar belong to early production model.
Can anyone can tell the difference between the early production model and mid-production model?
which model took part in the battle for kursk?
The early–which would have been seen at Kursk–had no zimmerit, a different hulll top, and hull configuration and no MG in front. It also had different skirt configuration, and minor suspension differences. Here’s one I built years ago with a conversion kit. The familiar figures are the Tamiya ones that come with their old “mid” kit. 
…and the late version by DML…you can compare the differences…
