Nope.

Ohhhhh the unbelievers
As its not mine and was done for actual money(ok, to offset another purchase ) I did not record any work on it.
Its a grey base Tiger 1, with a heavily distressed white-wash and dirty running gear , log on one side, a fuel drum on the rear deck, and the usual Tiger accessories(metal Mato tracks, hatches, roadwheels, sprockets & idlers.
No turret numbers.
A bit left for the owner to add his own touches if he wants too.

Got a bit cranky with no progress on my stuff'n tanks, so I dug out the panzer putty mask and covered the zimmerit damage.
Used drawing paper my girls donated to mask the barrel.
Then, outside to the paint booth warmed to a lovely 27C and hit the turret with a lightened dunklegelb.
Am going to use a MIG AK715 to lighten a Tamiya XF-58 Olivegreen to get a more faded version of the green shade.
As the weather is well and truly warm at night now, I should be able to do this at night easily.
At least once the turret is done, I can fit the delayed Taigen electronic hardware once it finally comes together into the hull, secure it all, test, then do the hull paint.
