Hello, I am starting my Dragon 1/35 King Tiger, Henschel turret, and am doing it as a machine in Berlin April 1945. I have interior color, buff, but I think I heard the late war machines used the dark yellow color for the interior due to shortages? Also the machine I am looking at is turret number 100 of 503Abt Panzer SS, I think that's right. Are there any war time pictures of it. Thanks---John

Red primer up to top of sponsons, Elfenbein above. There was a period in late 1944 when it was all primer but that was dropped after a short time as it was too hard to see anything in there.

Will see what photos I can find when I get home from work if nobody else has responded.

Thanks, I used MM Panzer Interior Buff and Burnt Sienna for the interior colors. Really doesn't matter seeing as though there is no interior and the hatches will probably be closed. I will do one someday with an interior, this was good practice.---John
