Tiger 1 tamiya new project help

[stefanuccio]

Hallo guys
I am about to start the second tiger 1 in 1/16 scale r/c by tamiya
My first one represents a tiger 1 in panzergray og the pz.reg.GD
Therefore i wanted something different for the next one in dark yellow and possibly camouflage as well
I do not want to modify the tank and build it as it is a tiger 1 produced in March 1943
The tank produced in March 1943 were delivered in the majority to the pz.abt 503 and 505 so my project has to consider this 2 major abts
There are some differences between the two ABTs in colour and camouflage
If someone is familiar with what i would like to do with this tiger can please help me to reason the various choises to realize my plan?
thank you very much in advance for your reply and the help azs i confide in many competent members are on this forum

My preference would be the pz.abt 505 but i will consider also the 503

Unit history at the link below,this will provide information about when they received Tigers,if they were new or rebuilt This is important as it will allow you to chose a time period or battle by date. Then since you know when the Tanks were delivered you will know which version.This is a way to be accurate as the equipment produced from the factories is well documented.

http://www.missing-lynx.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; This site has some detailed information about the Tiger and it's progression of Modifications.

Once you have decided which Tiger to model based on the unit Histories of 505 then you would need to research the production period and the factory standard of that time period, this will give you some detailed information on which details were being installed at that time.
