Now I see the color call out for the Interior is: Light Interior. :idonno Can't find a reference to it.
Radome tan used to be the widely used color for modeling interiors.

As I've stated, I'm way outta my comfort zone on this build so, am relying on y'all to help guide me into the world of [strike]targ[/strike]Tanks. Seems there's little references on the Early Tiger-I [that I can find anyways] What is the concensus on the color of the interior of the engine compartment & the engine/transmission themselves?
Thanks for any advice y'all can provide. :drinks

ldguy A Tiger is a panzer (means tank in German) and all these color codes apply to all German tanks (panzers)
And yet one would wonder why Germans refer to their Mercedes automobile as a Panzer
Guess it might help to be there though :facepalm
It depends on when and where you are modeling the Tiger, but if it's an early and you're comfortable with black, it's be fine for all. Pink piping on the epaulettes of all, around the entire trim of the front for the commander if you'd like with possible silver on the epaulettes depending on unit and rank.
Early panzer tunics were black wool because the grime and oil doesn't show up. The later SS had camo tunics with or without black leather trousers pilfered from Uboat supplies (they used grey, so black went unused) and Sturmartillerie (Stugs, etc) used the grey-green.
Officers may have tailored examples, but would be of the same design. Piping color around the trim denoted the unit designation, i.e., panzer was pink, medical was blue, etc...
I don't recall blue being used anywhere, but some StuG crews had a dark denim type for summer. Russian tank crews had blue overalls.
Blue...??? I think you would be safe following the colors on the box art.
The pea dot pattern wasn't issued until 1944, so you won't have to be bothered with trying to do that.

BTW, when painting black uniforms, adding a bit of "flesh" color to the black is an
easy way to soften it, and make it not look so black. Then you can use pure black for shadows.
