Can anybody help with the best colours to use for the king tiger to make it look authentic? What type of paint should I use and where can I buy it from?
Thanks, Graham
2025 ARMORTEK KIT SURVEY
Over the last few years we have brought out a whole series of kits as a direct result of your feedback - kits like the Pershing, JagdPanther, Hetzer, Leopard 2A4, and more recently the Sd Kfz 7, 88mm Flak 36 and the upcoming Challenger 2.
So, in keeping with what has become and annual tradition, here is your opportunity to once again influence our future production plans.
We have added in some "guide pricing" next to the names of the models. This is a rough estimate of the price at the current rates.
Thanks in advance for your input and we look forward to the results.

G'day Graham. My guess is the dark yellow, red brown & green as per Tiger 1 scheme.

Hello Graham,
I use also Tamiya for my tanks,
for the King Tiger i use Ts-3 dark Yellow ( spraycan )
and XF-64 red brown and XF-61 dark green, some people use XF-58 olive green.
I buy these in Germany, good prices.
