About this detail of the Tiger

Kit turret

This is the turret nose from the kit. There is a small niche in the bottom edge of the armour.

It is correct for a Tiger with a low cupola, such as Revell's kit 03116. But it is wrong for this kit.

Real turret

You should use filler to eliminate the niche. The real turret had a plain edge, as shown here.
