Twitcher2403 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Hi there. Ive just got myself a Tiger 1 Tamiya kit (early) and would like to paint it in a panzer grey. Im a bit of perfectionist and i am very keen to ensure that i reproduce a example that represents one of the real vehicles. I purchased a tankcraft book recently but this had very little for vehicles that were painted in grey. When i find a tiger tank that was grey that has a indentification number on it, 113 for example, i struggle to find many photos of it. Is there a database somewhere that houses all the info and photos per tank? Or if you know where i can find a selection of grey early tigers to chose from i would love to see your comments. I like knowing the history of each tank i paint. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackG Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 (edited) I think the German site Tiger im Focus is excellent place for what you are asking. You have to be a member to view it, but it is free. http://www.tiif.de/index.php?sid= For a grey vehicle, there were only two units that qualify for this option, s.Pa.Abt.502 and s.Pz.Abt.503. https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/missinglynx/tiger-i-early-finishing-options-t56311.html It would be a good idea to visit David Byrden's site to check his list of 'fixes' for any specific Tiger kit: http://tiger1.info/kits.html regards, Jack Edited February 21, 2019 by JackG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
