Was the rear tail light on a Tiger Blue?
I'm painting the Dragon Tunisian initial and seen a few who paint it a Blue colour but I only have Blue in oil paint.

Hi Karl,

I understand the color applies to all panzers, and for a long time everyone thought it was blue. Have a read thru this:

Google "German rear convoy light" and you'll find a few examples. The Tunisian tanks seem to have the glass version, not the version with slots in a metal cover.
