<p class="MsoNormal">While the picture in the link I posted is an intersting drawing, if a person is trying for an accurate depiction, drawings can be suspect, since a drawing is one persons's interpretation.<o></o></p><p class="MsoNormal">That pattern/colour is attributed to April 1943.<o></o></p><p class="MsoNormal">However, in Feb. 1943, they started painting the Tigers yellow at the factory, in place of the grey.<o></o></p><p class="MsoNormal">So either it was a Tiger made prior to Feb. (and still around), or, the drawing is not accurate.<o></o></p><p class="MsoNormal">Of course, the old B&amp;W photos from back then are difficult to determine actual colours from.<o></o></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o></o></p><p class="MsoNormal">Sometimes if you think to much about this stuff, it will drive you crazy.<o></o></p>
