I read this whole thread before I posted & didn't see any Tiger-I (early) posted. Need to see about figure(s) and some AM goodies before I can commit.

Just dug thru my Academy Tiger-I early version (kit#1348) and found it has some PE engine grill inside. Is that considered AM? Still need figure(s) for it.
Now to research the different Divisions on the decal sheet... :hmmm

Ed AM stands for aftermarket that means not included with the kit. In other words no, you must purchase the PE separately, comprendo ?

Ok, I'm throwin' my hat into the ring with the 1/35 Academy Tiger-I early version. a figure or two from the Tamiya 35201 and, on order, a Lions Roar barrel for it.
Does this meet the requirements Mr. T?

I took these pics myself. This use to be out front of LMC Scrap metal in Stockton,CA for years. It still stands out front of a business called White Cap.
 
Er...not sure. Guess we wait for someone who knows what they are talking about then. I'll be over in the corner
:popcorn

Looking on Wiki, don't think they had a M4 Light Tank. M3 and M5. Think the Hull is the biggest differences between those two.

I honestly don't know. I had posted this elsewhere & several people said it was the M4. When I took the pics, I was able to peek inside somewhat & this is an empty shell. Totally gutted out.

A couple were boat boys as well... :drinks
 
It's a M5 (Stuart VI). The biggest differences were the redesigned hull, twin Cadillac V-8 engines and automatic transmission. The M5 was originally designated M4 but is was confusing the Army.
