What would the correct colors be for a Tiger I of the 2.SS Panzer Division Das Reich be for the Kursk battle?

I'm pretty sure the base was dark yellow with dark green cammo splotches/stripes but I'm not sure if there was any red brown also present.

I don't have a specific tank number as yet since I'm not sure which ones were at Kursk.

Any help is appreciated.

I know it is just a drawing, but you should be able to work it out using ssgtoms thread on German camo schemes throughout WWII.
Hope this helps.
