BUT while you have a Heng Long or Taigen Tiger 1 on the shelf looking great you do not have the experience of building a Tamiya Tiger1.

Oh I agree with that too, the word Experience is one with many caveats to it in that context !!

Just a little remark about both headlights.
You can saw the bulb off the headlight and put one of those caps with that slit on.
Do not know the right name for that cap thow.....
I did that multiple times, so in fact no need replacing the entire headlights, if you don't want to do that.
And no worries, the lights will still function!
Good luck!
Rob.

Oh, but I do, It was just a 1/35 scale.

I'm having a friend 3D printing a set of covers. That's the last hurdle for this. Unless you know where I could get 'just the covers'. I found them for the PZ iii, but not the tiger.

It's the style I'm concerned with. The tigers are more curved than the PZ.

It's that front curve I'm talking about. The PZ covers are flat. Unless that really doesnt' matter, just as long as I put on good covers.
