Swastika on the tail is way too big and it looks like the RAF Roundel is still showing underneath the added fuselage marking

Actually ... it looks like it was photoshopped onto the tail.

The Tiger camo looks like it was hand painted on in the field as opposed to being delivered/built with that color schema.

Definitely photoshopped. Notice how the cross is smooth, and the swastika has the little boxes on it (hard to explain, but you hopefully know what I mean)

take a look at the swastika, notice how it's jaged compared to the other parts of the plane. Compare it to the German cross, it's 100% photoshopped.

I found the pic on a site and it's actually not the original paint scheme. That is white wash applied while the tank was in the field.

Ok I'm going out on a limb and assuming that each tiger was assigned one number and no two tigers were assigned the same number.  If they were assigned in the field and some tigers were numbered the same then I'm going to look like a idiot....cross my fingers.     :pray  Here we go..Tiger 123 of the s.Pz. Abt. 503 was at the Battle of Kursk in 1943.  Was later destroyed by crew in February 1944.  I found great pics of 123 on these sites..

Sorry...

"The first number is the company, the second number is the platoon and the third number is the order of the tank in the section. For example 414 would be the number for the fourth tank in the first platoon of the fourth company. On the company commander's and deputy commander's tanks, the second digit was 0 and the third digit 0, 1 or 2. Staff company normally had the numbers 001 to 003. In some units, roman numerals I, II and III were used."
