11bee Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 The first pic is of a Pz IVJ, not a Tiger. In both cases, the color schemes appear to be standard dark yellow base, with oversprayed red brown and dark green. Check out one of the armor modeling sites, they will go into much greater detail for you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

John Tapsell Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 From February 1943, German armour was issued from the factory painted in a base coat of Dunkelgelb (Dark Yellow). A tin of Rotbraun (Red Brown) and Olivegrun (Olive Green) was issued with each vehicle and the vehicle was painted by the combat unit when it was delivered. The paint could be thinned with water or petrol and could be applied with a spraygun, a paintbrush, a mop, bare hands or whatever was available. Exact shades or densities therefore varied infinitely. There was no standard pattern and no requirement to use either or both colours - so you can see vehicles left in plain dark yellow, or just with the green added (or just the red brown) or both extra colours. Camouflage patterns varied from very basic to extremely complex, depending how much time and skill the crew had. Regards, John Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Regards, John Very much so... and to add to the confusion they repainted them frequently depending on the surroundings. So the same tank could have a multitude of schemes over the course of the war.
