I've never seen a discussion about the fact that "100" was painted in swaths of white wash paint during the last part of its combat career, when it was captured by the Russians in January '43. Below is a photo from the very hard to find Russian magazine, Frontline Illustrations "Early Tigers" on page 21. It's clearly "100" -- note the two holes on the upper rear edge of the left stowage bin and the frames jutting from the right turret wall that used to mount the now-missing right side bin. Both of these features are distinct markers of "100" in the Moscow captured equipment display later that summer.

In this photo, note the large blotch with white paint dripping on the rear bulkhead, the swaths on the turret and right side chassis hull.




I've never seen anyone model "100" in this manner. Anyone care to join me?

Interesting photo, Roy.
Looking forward to seeing your 100 as well. Keep us posted.
