Thanks jarndice,
I've read that too, and also seen photos of crew spray painting.
My model is based on tank 311 of 101st SS heavy panzer battalion Normandy. There were five Mid production Tigers (in 101st) with travel lock and similar attributes.
Mid tanks with travel lock: 5 => 131, 132, 311, 321, 331.
Questions:
1. Looking at the below linked photos, do you think their camo paint was applied with a spray gun (soft edge) or brush (hard line)?
2. I've read (and it appears) that 3rd company did not paint their gun barrels. They were left black/grey. Anyone know a Tamiya paint mix that could best represent this black color?
