I'm working on a King Tiger and plan to do a winter white vehicle. Common sense would indicate that the lower hull and underside of the side skirts would remain the yellow base color. Am I correct in my asumption? I can't find any close up photos that show this area. All help will be greatly appreciated..

The wash being applied by a crew would only cover what was obvious and easily reachable judging from the pictures I have seen.

I have seen photos of models showing everything whitewashed except the undersides of course,but the side skirts,wheels and lower hull would quickly wear off and show weathering and mud.Thats what I did with mt Tiger I whitewash-see my gallery for pics.

also try search on the forums for whitewashed Tigers,you might come up with pics.

Thanks for all the input. I painted the hull the base color and just the outer wheel faces white. With a bit of weathering it came out great. I appreciate the help. Now on to the mud..
