The undercut to the HL Tiger turret is only there to stop it fouling on the tow ropes...which in turn only happened because the turret ring / hull aperture are too far forward (so as the turret traverses the rear sticks out too far).
The turret is also a little too long at the front, although not by very much. Perhaps that's why it looks too narrow to you?
Not noticed any issues with the hull dimensions...

Those issues with the turret aside it's worth noting that the HL Tiger compares very closely with the Tamiya version...

To correct the hl turret, start buy pulling it off and tossing it into the trash....
The turret is not corret in a number of ways. The hole in the bottom needs to be centered, you also need to move the hole in the hull forward 15mm. Hl did this to clear the airsoft gun with stuff inside the hull. The hl tiger turret has the gun centered on center line of the turret, the gun should be off set by about 5-8mm toward the loaders side of the turret, don't forget the gun is in the full compression mode of recoil( you need to add about 10mm)....if you look around for some hl tiger builds, some guys on here have come up with some great fixes for these. With any luck I will be be doing a torro/asiatam hybread build this winter.
here is an example........
