*The hull MG opening in Dragon part is too square and should be more rectangular as with Tristar part.
*Pistol port slightly too low on Dragon plate but as it's a separate part,
just open up the locating hole a little and reposition.
*Pistol port cover on Tristar part has the correct flat tip profile while it is pointed on the Dragon part.
*Both kits have visors that can be positioned open or closed.

Images of assembled front plates showing extra internal detail on Dragon kit.
*Dragon hull machine gun barrel incorrect type for Ausf.D and should be the
standard perforated MG34 barrel as with the Tristar kit,
the Dragon sleeved barrel was introduced with the Ausf.E
