mono-tone king tiger?
Posted by Anonymous on Monday, July 7, 2003 3:47 PM
I was wondering if there were any king tigers (henschel turret) with a mono-tone dark yellow "camoflauge".

There will be if you make oneBig Smile [:D] Seriously the camo patterns of WWII German armor was not very uniform. I am sure, although I have not seen any, there was Tigers with no camo at all. After your weather it real good, you can still make it look authentic. Good Luck!

What about zimmerit? Was there any? How many kill rings on the gun? Better yet, what is the title of the book?

I respect all replies except dumb jokes (example: there were a lot of monotone king tigers, before they got camoflauge!)
