anyone help i want to do a camo 4 early tiger found a link from wackywheels with 1st comp 503rd heeres its no 18 on d site is this a early tiger

it has the early style coupola, so I'd say yes. Mid and late Tigers have the cast coupola (see no 19 for comparison)

ok any idea wat colours are used  its 1st time 2 try paint e.g. make,etc

I use Tamiya XF 60 XF58 and XF64. Those are generally touted as the best match for the three colour scheme.
For other manufacturers I would recommend this site as a good x-reference:

cheers checked out dat site it went way over my head sorry dont want 2 sound stupid but are they codes 4 the paint if so how much wood i need 4 hl tiger and do i have 2 prime it 1st really am a virgin

The codes in the table correspond to that manufacturers closest match to the original German spec (RAL number). The text at the top gives you the colour schemes and the dates they were used, you then look up the name/RAL code and read across the columns until you find the code for the manufacturer you want. I use Tamiya and Testors, other brands such as Humbrol may be more readily available where you are.
I always recommend a coat of red oxide primer as it will help the paint stick (especially acrylics) and hide the stuff the factory put on.
Assuming that you are using an air brush, you should probably buy 2 of the larger jars of XF60, and 1 each of XF58 and 64. I'm not a big fan of using a paint brush myself as I can't achieve as good a finish.
You will also need one bottle of tamiya acrylic thinner for diluting the paint prior to spraying. If you are looking to get into airbrushing, somebody posted the UK equivalent of the compressor I have - I can't remember where they were getting it from, but it was only about 40 quid and good enough to paint 1:16th tanks.

Hope this helps,
