Panzer Division Müncheberg was formed in March of 1945. It received last 5 Tiger I's produced. Well more like repaired hulls "Reparlerte Wannen" of the last cobbled together 50 Tiger I's to be produced.
Following are the upgrades done to these hulls-
And for the Repaired Turrets "Reparlerte Tuerme"-
Well I just like obscure colorful subjects with rough edges.

Here we can see a lower hull from about March 43-July43
Mid-late sprockets
Repaired/upgraded turret, Unique from this angle because it features a later commanders copula and the early pistol port And Zimmerit.
Here is a later pic showing the Zimmerit on the pistol port. Now That's unique!
Another angle showing the monocular gunners site-
Another shot showing the upgraded 40mm roof and jib mounts
Another cool detail I found was there was actually direction how to mount the older rubber rimmed wheels combined with the newer rubber saving steel rimmed wheels-

Only been about 10 months since Tiger 131 was completed.
Feels like forever.

Here's a link (sorry, it's in French) about the history of this division. I also saw a video on YouTube, a magnificent 1/16 scale Panther model
