No offence taken Jack.
I can see all the colours but my little brain can't distinguish some of them.
I can see primary colours okay but it's all the shades that throw me

Not a fan of the octopus camo scheme Carl.
I'm going to go for yellow, green and brown as a kind of match to my other panzers.

Are they easier to distinguish with the colour saturation jacked up?
Either way, I guess it's lucky you weren't a Sherman commander in 1944.

Yes !
I can now tell which is the rotbraun.
Thank you Mr Raminator.
I'll have to get some colour saturation specs.

Me too, because the Octopus cam is AN ABSOLUTE PAIN IS THE ASS
I copied the number of them, the consistent' inconsistency of them (seemingly hand painted as they were allegedly), the position of them , and as I had no actual pics to show the top & rear, I had to guess and play the 'quit while I was ahead' card to avoid overdoing it.
Glad I did, as an Octo-King is an all time favorite for me, and getting my hands on one of , if not THE, first H/L Production Turret KT in Australa, there was only going to be one option
Here is a punt for you mate...............
What did Kurt Knispels King Tiger look like on the day it was destroyed in Hungary a couple of weeks short of the end of the war ??

I can try and find out - there are a couple of websites I know of that may have a photo of the tank. Unless you already know Mr B
Kurt Knispel was THE Panzer ace of WWII as you no doubt know.

Haa !!
Yeah, probably close to it Mr Ram
Sadly, no pictures or details seem to exist that indicate what his machine may have looked like...............only educated speculation.
