Intresting looking repaint there. I like the rolled metal effect should show off the weathering to the max. All the best for now

Late on in 1945 tanks not just Tigers where sent out of the factory in the base red oxide paint some had a small amount of yellow and green added in the field sometimes just one of these colors, sometimes they where released without ant paint.

Incidentally this Tiger II has the 18 tooth sprocket's and single piece tracks so it should have three lots of brackets front and rear for spare track this one is an earlyer type with two lots of brackets for spare track
