Tamiya Early Tigers : engine hatch supports

The Tamiya Afrika Tiger and Eary Tiger kits both have an error on the engine hatch (part E6).

Engine hatch

They have support legs on both sides of the hatch. This photo shows a leg on a real Tiger.

But in fact, Tigers did not carry these legs until May 1943. They should always be removed from the Afrika Tiger kit.

Engine hatch

The legs are correct for some of the decal sets in the Early Tiger kit. But for some sets they should be removed, and for others they should be moved to these positions.
