What colors do we think this Tiger I was?

[MrChef]

Ideas? Guesses? Discussion welcome.

What colors or camo do we think this beast was painted? Or was it just camo wearing off?

Tiger parts noticed (smoke dischargers, possible loaders periscope, turret mounted track links) make it around late winter, early spring 1943. Likely Eastern front.




Thanks,

Chef

Grey brown and green maybe

Looking at the side of the vehicle the blotches appear to be two different colours over a base coat.

Given the time period it's likely the standard 3 colours.
RAL 7028 Dunkelgelb as the base
RAL 8017 Rotbraun and RAL 6003 Olivegrun making up the camo itself.

Does the photograph give any details of the division. I have just looked through Tiger 1 On the Eastern Front, and nothing quite matches.

In my opinion it's three colors:

I agree with Kaczor.

Barring any indication of the location and division, I can add with confidence that it is not Dunkelgrau. Oh, I am such a great help!

Id go with Mr Kaczors image.
Definitely not grey base.
The discussion on numbers and units of grey Tigers has been gone over in great detail by experts.
I will try to find the discussion thread.

Found!

FYI there's no description for photo of the tank other than "Early Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger Ausf. E winter".

Does anyone else notice that there aren't any noticeable headlights/convoy lights?

And the track cable isn't on the side it looks to be in front on the ground on the radio operators side. At the rear on the ground seems to be track. I wonder if they just changed from transport tracks?
