I need Tiger color help! I am guessing this topic has been flogged to flinders, but I can't seem to find a definitive answer.
I am starting the 1/25 scale Tamiya Tiger, and have discovered that getting color info is horribly complicated.
First, I realize that the plastic in this kit is fraught with errors in dimension and details. I am fine with that... BUT, I really would like to get the colors right, specifically the interior.
I am reading that some early Tigers had a light, blue-grey interior from the sponsons down, with a light cream, or ivory for the remainder. I have also read that at some point that the portions below the sponsons were red-oxide primer, with everything above that in the cream/ivory color.
So, any help with this dilemma would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I will be using vallejo paints so any paint numbers would be great.

Paging Dr Byrden!

You are probably referring to this site:
http://tiger1.info/EN/Hachette-Inside-Colours.html

Which is one of the best sources. I remember there was a more complete article on that site regarding German interior colours but I have not been able to find it.

According to this basic info, yes, if you are building a Tiger before mid-43 then the lower interior should be blue grey

Ask Dave the Austrian.

Beat me to it Carlos. I've visited this site more times in the last month than I've had cups of coffee - it's the bible when it comes to Tigers.

Refer to these;

David Coyne's build

David Nickels' build

David Byrden's site

Or just ask the nearest person named David.

Thanks for the laugh

Wow, that is some great info. Thanks everybody for the info and links.
I think my dilemma has been solved, I just need to figure out which time frame I am going with and select from there.
