| Subject: | Re: Tiger I Early commad vehicle |  |

Hi Joerg,
There were only 48 Tiger I command vehicles in total produced, from March 1943 to the end of Tiger I production. Considering the new commander cupola was introdued in July 1943, there were very few early command vehicles rolled out from factories. I could find only 4 pictures of such vehicle in Ground Power No.029.
Page 40 - Unkown number of 1SS. The LHS of the mantlet, including the Co-axis MG hole, was covered with extra plate. FuG7 antenna is veisible on LHS of the vehicle. The vehicle was painted in 2 colour scheme - green/brown with Dark Yellow base.
Page 41 - Number 'I'(black with white outline) of 503. FuG8 antenna (star antenna) on RHS and FuG7 base on LHS of the vehicle are visible. It was painted with German Grey or something that is in dark tone. It is not Dark Yellow for sure.
Page 43 - Unknown number of 503. Co-axis MG hold was covered. Although very difficult, the FuG8 antenna is visible. It could be the same vehicle shown in pange 41.
Page 43 - Number 'II' of 505. FuG5 antenna is visible on top of the turret. It was painted in green/brown and Dark Yellow base.
Hope it is of some hlep.
