1/18 scale, should be close enough.

You can also try freehand drawing the helmet. It is not a very difficult image to draw. Also keep in mind that if the color of the helmet is white that is the Zug leader (squad). If the helmet is drawn in black it is another tank from the squad.

Panther G,
Does the White= Squad Leader and Black = Squad Members apply to all or most German units or just the GroBdeutschland Div. Great fact either way, thanks.

This was just done in the Grobdeutschland Div. They had many different styles of identifying their tanks. My tiger I is B12, which would be the second kompanie , first platoon second squad. That is atleast how I understood their ranking system. This may not be entirely accurate, but i know this is close. They were also the only ones to use the helmet to identify their tanks.

Print your own,Testors decal system,I have searched for this decal for a year,most are found in 1/35 scale.The color is important as well.Which Unit of Grossdeutschalnd are you modeling? Here are two sited that may help.You can find the Testors dacal system on line it is not expensive. http://members.shaw.ca/grossdeutschland/tigers.htm http://www.members.shaw.ca/grossdeutschland/vehicle.htm The first site shows clearly what the first TIGER units looked like,and that until After the KURSK battles the TIGER units were reorganized into three companies,9,10,11.prior to September 1943 all Grissdeutschland Tigers were 13company which piked at 15 Tigers,They were well deployed and were used to great advantage.Another source is Panzer Grenadier Division Grossdeutschland, squadron signal publications.This has a Division Timeline that is Broken down into world history and Grossdeutschland history unit history.I will include a picture of my Tiger,I have never seen a picture of a Tiger with the helmet marking,but their are few pictures available.It was widely used on every other type of vehicle.Good Luck Pm me if you need information,Grossdeutschland Division has been my main interest of German war divisions. Click on pictures to see actual color,for some reason the pictures look Tan prior to exspanding them,this TIGER is S13,13TH company 1st platoon 3rd squad tank.This is May 1943 after several battles.

Your welcome,the StugIII were used by Grossdeutschland in France and in several units attached to Grossdeutschland through out the EASTERN CAMPAIGNS. Good luck in your search,I can post other common vehicle markings if you need them to print. Odd that the peace sign was a German Tactical Marking..Blake
