Description
This photo is said to have been taken in Tovrovo. It shows Tiger "black 113" and we can identify its hull as that of the former "white 113" for several reasons. It has a large repair patch welded on the front wall, where the old "113" had two impact marks. It has a dark stain on the right hull wall, apparently the same one as in another photo. And the workshop have made a custom mudflap at the front right corner of the tank, where the old "white 113" lost its mudflap.
There is no visible feature on this turret that ties it directly to the turret of "white 113".
As well as having its number repainted with black digits, the Tiger is seen here with a new paint scheme. It is probable that one or two new colours have been applied over the old RAL8000 finish, with some traces of whitewash visible too. Dunkelgelb does not seem to be used.
