Getting ready to do the camo on the king tiger that has been sitting with the dark yellow base coat on it for months I plan on doing the the two tone yellow and red brown... Is the camo pattern free hand (soft edge) or can I lay it out with putty for hard edge
Did they ever paint the king in all green or panzer gray
The only reason why I ask I was watching World War Two in color
And saw a few king tigers in line wait to go out
Or could that been the way the color film is for the time period
Thanks guy

no, all tigers were painted with camo. But there is record of a white tiger ii in hungary in 1945.

That is great, do you know what camp was painted under the white? Also did the tiger in Hungry have zimmarit on it?
