Hello!
I'm sure this has been around before, but does anyone know the correct color of the numbers, "008", on the King Tiger/Ardennes Front? The Tamiya kit comes with red decal numbers, but I've also seen yellow. Also, I know it was found abandoned, but what was its ultimate fate?
Thanks, and Cheers!

According to "Tigers in the Ardennes "
( http://www.ss501panzer.com/Tanks_of_SS501.htm)
it might have been red numbers outlined in white.
As to the ultimate fate, I assume it was scrapped.
