I've been back at the hobby since last July. In that time, I haven't run out of a single paint (though I'm scraping the barrel on one or two colors). But a lot of it depends on how you roll and what kind of airbrush you're using. I've somehow acquired three main airbrushes (Iwata Eclipse HP-CS, Iwata HP-C+, and a Grex Tritium TG) - they're all gravity feed, and even bumping up to the 0.5mm needle/nozzle on the HP-CS, it still sips paint next to my old siphon-feed Paasche. I tend to thin pretty aggressively, too. At least 1:1 for Model Master or Gunze, and I usually start at 2:1 thinner:paint when I'm shooting Tamiya. 

I use eyedroppers to transfer paint and thinner into glass bottles, and I'm actually pretty terrible about wasting that last dropperful of paint that's left over at the end of the night, but even so I don't tear through much paint at all.

You should be able to get through a Tiger with one bottle no problem.

I guess I am the odd man out...I use very little paint for a kit. I guess I thin my paint pretty thin.

I agree with Andy. I use about a half to a third of a bottle for main colors for a model the size of a 1:35 tank.  Only on very large models (1:32 fighter plane or 1:48 bomber) do I use a whole bottle.  A good primer reduces the amount of color paint I use on a model.

I average 2 big kits or 3 smaller kits per MM paint bottle.  My kits are in 1/35 scale. Remember they have to be thinned before using the airbrush so it gives me more that way.
