you probably have these but heres a few pics of 142, one more thing 142 was green or more like Grey / green.......

Thanks oz for the pics. I don't have a few of them. As for the color I checked and researched and was led to believe it was base of 8020 Gelbbraun and disruptive of 7027 Sandgrau no more than 1/3. The air cleaners were Dunkelgrau. Here are a few pics of its demise I went by also.

i took this from tiger I on the western front, it may be of some use, must say your tiger looks great.

Thanks oz. By you bringing this to my attention I did more research. I found more sites, dug a little deeper and found that the original base color was probably DunkelGrau. Then painted 8020 Gelbbraun with a disruptive of 7027 Sandgrau. That would give it a greenish tint. I just primed mine with  3009 Oxidrot and laid 8020 Gelbbraun. Now I am going to have to paint it all over again. >:(   Thanks for the help.

i,m not really saying my info is correct, i,m just throwing a bit more stuff your way, whatever colors you go with its gonna look good.   8)

Thanks oz. I don't know, but now that I look at the pic with the GI setting charges. To the right of the gun port looks like DunkelGrau showing through. Correct me if I am wrong.

yep thats what i thought when i enlarged your pic it looks Grey, but if the tigers went to the 10th Pz Div did they repaint them later on ?, but besides that it definitely looks Grey.

Thanks oz for verifying. I believe so, but the 121 and 142 were lost in Jan. '43 so they weren't painted later colors with their numbers painted red with white out lines. So I guess a repaint is definitely in order. I am a purest at heart.

two more mate, and sorry about the repaint.  :-\

I'll post pics after the repaint. Off to the hobby store tomorrow.
