Nice winter camo bu I think it's more for the Eastern front than for the Battle of the Bulge. Also, panzer grey was used from 1935 to april 1943. Then the standard color was desert yellow.

yea, not many tigers I were in the Bulge, the 301st FK being the main ones with the V.Panzer Armee(Center Front) under von Mantauffel..and most of those were not white-washed IIRC, actually not many of the Panzer in the bulge were white-washed..most still had their camo schemes both in the 6.Panzer and 5.Panzer armies, but then at the start of the offensive it wasn't snowing..the snow didn't start til around the 24/25 IIRC..prior to that cold and mud were the ground conditions.
This is more 1942 on the Leningrad front scheme(but wrong) type of Tiger I..for the period you would have to backdate it to a early model(even prior to their deployment to Africa)

after looking at it for awhile, at the time i did not know it was the wrong tiger version i just knew the camo was right, so i think i am going to repaint it into a correct eastern front tiger or battle of the bulge tiger.

finding pics of s.Pz.Abt. 502 in 1942/43 winter isn't easy, nor is finding them for Sept.1942 where the Tiger first saw action near Lake Lagoda(Leningrad front with Heersgruppe Nord)
