Okay, what are your thoughts on a Befehls Tiger from sPzAbt 506 in Spring /Summer of 44? From my reading (TIC and Restayn) it seems the unit recieved 45 new Tigers in the Spring of 44. So from my understanding, we would have 3 companies of 14, for 42 vehicles. That leaves 3 for the Stab. So one would assume the Stab recieved new vehicles as well.
My thinking is to build one using the Befehls parts from a Dragon Tiger on the special edition Kurzmaul Tiger with 25mm roof.

I did some digging on ML and came up with a discussion on the numbering system, there is some debate on whether or not the Stab used Tigers 1,2,and 3 or A,B,and C. One photo came up that seems to be from '43, shows what looks to be a mid model Befehls. Unfortunately the turret number is not visible.

Any thoughts?

Not the period I'm interested in but here's the newsreel still in case you're interested. Seems to have the aerial on the turret roof. I think you can make out the travel lock as well
