When did Germany switch from panzer grey to Dunkelgelb?
Posted by Anonymous on Monday, September 6, 2004 10:35 PM
I want to do a Kharkov era Tiger I Early Production with winter camo. Based on the period (February 43) should i paint panzer grey or dunkelgelb as my base coat? I know that dunkelgelb was used from some time in 1943 onwards but was it before or after Kharkov?

Check this link. There is the timeline defining the switch from Grey to Dark Yellow as well as drawings. It looks like Tigers were in Winter Camo and Dark Grey + Dark Yellow Camo at Kharkov.

Hooray for gray! It's really a great medium to work in on the earlier German stuff...so many possibilities for weathering from worn/dusty Spring France look to whitewash Russian winter...
