Thanks!

Ohh a word about paint colors. No tanks serving in North Africa were painted in Sand Yellow or Dunkelgelb, RAL 7028. Also known as Tamiya XF-60 and Floquil Panzer Dark Yellow. The official colors in use at the time were RAL 8020 for the base coat with RAL 7027 as the disruptive color. Many tanks and it's possible some Tigers got this too, were painted in the earlier scheme with RAL 8000 as the base color with RAL 7008 as the disruptive color.
