Roco Tiger II

Late in WWII the Germans were using a red brown primer on their vehicles.

As I understand it they sometimes did not fully paint vehicles at the factory.

And the red brown primer was flat and close to the red brown color they used in camouflage anyway.

So here is a red brown primer Tiger II.

Very late war sometimes tank crews were sent to the factory not only to pick up a new tank, since the front line was close.

But sometimes they were sent there to help finish construction of the tank.

I suppose it would mostly be fitting out the tank rather than actually welding hull parts.
