Thanks for the review! Small correction, though--the regulation base color for vehicles delivered in 1945 was Olivgrun, not Dunkelgelb, and the Dunkelgelb and Rotbraun disruptive camouflage would have been applied in hard-edged patterns at the factory.
Tamiya's markings for Carius' vehicle are questionable, as photos of Jagdtigers in the Ruhr Pocket show the 512th Battalion's first company marked as X1 through X7, and the two second company vehicles identified in photos just have a white letter Y with no number.
