Tiger 1 Paint finish?

Post by dougan1963 »

About to get a Tamiya Tiger 1, not keen on the standard grey finish, any ideas on what I could do with it?
Nothing overly complicated if possible!

2x early Tiger 1's made from parts of HL, Taigen, Mato and whatever I saw suitable.

A good read, and 3/4 way down camo examples.

Nice quick read and Putlos ranges mentioned, the unit I was with in 1975-78 used Putlos ranges. At the time if not firing we used to sit atop the vehicles and spy on the nudist camp next door.
