Hello---I am starting a Cyberhobby King Tiger and saw an interesting scheme with little camoflage. I think it was hull number 304, light blue numbers and in overall dunklegelb? I am pretty sure there was a tank of that hull number with Abt. 501 lost in the Ardennes offensive in December 1944. Are there any pictures of this tank? Thanks---John

Thanks, but I don't speak German. I tried this site but instructions are somewhat confusing. It looks like an excellent site. ---John

Right click on the page and see if Windows gives you a translate option.

The main page loads, but I am encountering the same error for the links. I'm using Chrome.

I looked at your pictures again and that scheme almost looks like the King Tiger in Berlin in 1945. I think it was tank hull number 100 and it's commander was Ostuf Lippert? Anyways I saw one modeled in dark yellow with green camo on the turret and barrel only. Those pictures look suspiciously like that camo.---John

This looks like it might be one of Kampfgruppe Peiper's Tigers near Lagleize.

I can translate the main page but when I try to register it won't translate, it does look in depth, is it worth it if I continue to try and figure it out?
- John
On a funny side note
I had a book sent to me signed by Otto Carius and had to have a friends friend who lives in Germany that was visiting the U.S. translate an insciption he wrote to me
(which I didn't write down and now forgot)it was too sloppy to figure out on the computer.

Reasons for not being Berlin: There's too much snow on the ground - the battle for Berlin was in late April and very little snow left; Lots of trees with no leaves, and slightly hilly in the background, and no buildings; US tank crewman in combats - by the time US troops were in Berlin the shooting was over, and no more snow.
