I took these pics of the Tiger 2 back in 2015 (My son lives in Switzerland, and so I'm a regular visitor). Unfortunately, the restoration was at a sort of early DIY Tiger-kit stage, then. I love the Museum, though, and added to the restoration fund.

That's armour virtue-signalling
It's a must for any armour enthusiast visiting Switzerland.

This is a pic from the Museum's online collection. It shows the Tiger arriving at the Museum for restoration. If you look carefully, you'll see that it had no convoy light then...

Then here's a ling to work on the electrical system. There's no mention of a convoy light- as yet.

Hi Guys, just been looking for info on the colour of a king tiger convoy light. Some sources say blue but other sources say green. The only existing pics I can see appear to show it as green. Does anyone have a definite answer?
Thanks
