before you ask, yes I know that the pic is for 2./3. Kompanies..I don't have a pic for 1.kp in 1944/45

my prior post answered your question on 1.kp's Stabs panzers in the other thread on 1.01, I figured the diagram might get the point across.

thans for your patience and replay
In another post on a different website someone sustained that
king tiger command tank pz.abt.506 where numbered as
01 02 03 and so on and not as
1+01 1+02 1+03 as stated in your illustrative scheme so i got confused
now i can see that the model by dragon is correct and i thank you very much for your advice
thanks regards

that was me in the other post.

SAYING 01, 02 03 was the TANK's Number within the Kompanie since it did not arrange it's panzers into Zugs(Platoons) as was normally done.

The Diagram shows what I meant to say in a clearer format.

I forgot to ask you
the king tigers command tanks described on your scheme are
SDKFZ 267 which have a ROD Antenna or
SDKFZ 268 which have a STAR Antenna ?
this is probably what is making a difference in the accuracy of this dragon model item n.61030

In plain english the numbering on the turret 1+01 in black numbers with white outlines
is correct?
or incorrect?
Sorry about my english!
