Guys...
Latest repaint. The tunisian tiger was the correct version for this Das Reich Tiger to be done so, thought I would see how it would look. Based on half a dozen pics I was given years ago by a german tanker of Tiki who was a member of the Das Reich. Nicknamed after a girlfriend a few pics of this tank have appeared in some books.
Its the colourway that intrigued me and, the base coat of grey as normal was given a camo pattern of dark yellow. I closed all the hatches apart from the commanders cupola and, removed the sandbag supporting and hiding the attachment for the turret hatch. Water can on the left hand side was removed from below the skirt line!!!
The Das reich tank has a few applications of camo paint over the spring and summer months from sparsh to thick patches so, I went with the latter.
Hope you like.
