Tiger Paint

Post by Red Devils »

Hey guys,

I got a question about painting this Tiger, I just finished the lower hull less placing in the Greaboxes and electronics, that will come later and I finished priming all those roadwheels. Now my question is, did the German manufactures of the tanks after priming the exterior with Red Oxide Primer take the time to paint the underside of the lower hull and the backs of roadwheels with the finish color? Where the roadwheels painted with the finish color and then assembled and mounted? I ask cause I've seen WWII "YouTube" footage and a few pictures of Red Oxide covered Tigers and cannot see the workers getting under the hull and in behind the roadwheels to paint them. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks...

Thanks Eastern Front,

That was the answer that I was looking for. I fully agree with your assessment. Thanks again

Hey Eastern Front,
It looks like it would be in your best interest to start your own club/group. Been posted here for two years now and haven't heard of any clubs. I think though there might be a few tankers in the Nova Scotia but location unknown. If I don't posted back out west, I'll RV with some where's and we can beat some tank tracks on some maritime soil. Thanks again and take care.

Hi Eastern Front. I live in Halifax and there are no armor clubs around here I am aware of. There is a modeling club that has periodic meets but they are into anything modeling.
