The camo on this Tiger was of a three colour type though there is some speculations as to weather the tank had grey or drown strips along with green and yellow the pictures shown where taken before Kursk

 Hi Pete

I have been doing a Tiki "833" on and off (more off) for about 5 months now and I went for the camouflage used on the "812" (panzer grey and dark yellow), what I have noticed with the decals that there is a great deal of inconsistency some manufacturers supply three "Tiki" (I presume the third would be on the rear of the tank?) others  supply two.

What I noticed  on your images of "833" the numbers were not solid white and the two pictures I have seen of Tiki "833" the numbers are definitely solid white!


good  luck with the paint job

Hi Tiki is on both sides at the front end and on the front near drivers vision port.Have seen Tiki in brown and dark yellow which looks good but like Rivet said if you look at the black and white photos there are three shades of camo which means there should also be green but not a lot of it .

Hi Oz
