Baker Posted June 22, 2020 Share #92 Posted June 22, 2020 Mark, After 35 years of studying German WW2 vehicles. The yellow sand color only officially entered service in the spring of 1943 (HM 1943 N ° 181 of February 18, 1943) After reviewing post 1 in this log. The first manufacturer error appears "Leningrad 1943" This model is one of the 4 first Tiger 1 that ever entered service in panzergrey . This was on the Leningrad front August 29, 1942. On their first action they get all 4 engine problems, 3 can be salvaged 1 not. The 3 remaining Tigers , remain in service until winter 42/43. Then they get a white wash camauflage. I don't know if they are still in the vicinity of Leningrad in the summer of 43. They will probably will be further south to be involved in the much more important Citadel offensive. So You build one of the few Tigers who left the factory in panzer gray. Please don't make it sand yellow.

Egilman Posted June 22, 2020 Share #96 Posted June 22, 2020 Hi Patrick, Got the makings of a pretty good armored battalion there my friend... Ready for parade... My german armor interests died down a couple of decades ago... but before that I had every Accurate Armor Panzer Truppen kit in my stash..... Never got to build a single one of them though... For a while I dropped off the modeling scene and there's a huge gap in my studies.. lost time... but it gives me more to learn now, I only remembered that bit about the DunkleGrau and Tiger tanks from a very memorable argument a gent an I had over just such... you like grey PZ IV'S there are a ton of examples same with Pz III's, but Panthers and Tigers... that's another story... I knew they had painted them but until today never thought one actually went into combat... Personally I thought the troops serving them would have been smarter..... Citadel took everything as far as armor.. that is one thing about the german forces they were moving tanks around so much that many broke down before they could ever get to a battle... I read about one example of a Tiger that was mustered up battle four times but never fired a shot in anger... it would break before they got to the assembly point..... It's why the Russians put a premium on destroying railways..... Now I'm into American Armor.... which has as many devoted followers as German armor does...... But from building interests, I"m modeling anything that strikes me fancy at this point..... Got a few things I want to do and focusing on one small part won't get that done... Nice collection...... Nice to actually converse with someone who likes the history as well as I... I'm not alone....

marktiedens Posted June 22, 2020 Author Share #98 Posted June 22, 2020 Thanks for all that info,guys. Here are a couple of pictures from the instructions - the one numbered 121 seems to show a blue camo pattern. I will be leaving it all grey. Also,the one numbered 121 does not have the "containers" on the side of the turret - could they be for ammo storage?

Baker Posted June 22, 2020 Share #99 Posted June 22, 2020 Never seen this system. If a photo shows up, it can be photoshopped This is possible. Then you build a Tiger from sPzAbt 503. Also available in panzer gray. If you don't want to, don't apply a white wash. There is evidence of a N ° 123. And, If there is an N ° 123, then there is also a N ° 121. The container at the back of the turret is a "rommelkiste". Only for personal items. But, You are building a very early model with 2 pistolports in the turret. The sPzAbt 503 Tigers have a hatch on the right, no pistol port. My idea, It is possible that the 4 Tigers on the Leningrad front did not have a container on the turret (and the 2 pistolports) This is the simplest solution to build, no container. And no one can say that you did something wrong (i hope ) Ps, This is your model, of course you build the model of your choice. But I'm glad to study Tigers again. It has been years since I built one. myself. marktiedens, mtaylor, popeye the sailor and 5 others 8 Quote Regards, Patrick Finished : Soleil Royal Heller 1/100 Wasa Billing Boats Bounty Revell 1/110 plastic (semi scratch) Pelican / Golden Hind 1/45 scratch Current build : Mary Rose 1/50 scratch große-jacht / Yacht D'Oro 1/50 Corel Gallery : Revell Bounty Pelican/Golden hind 1/45 scratch Shore leave, non ship models build logs : ADGZ M35 funkwagen 1/72 Einhets Pkw.

Other than a few inaccuracies,I would consider this a very good kit - all the parts fit perfectly & there was not any flash whatsoever to deal with. I still have a couple of Tamiya tanks in the closet (a panther type g & a king tiger),that I may tackle later,but for now it`s back to the ship. Thanks for all the input!
