Hello, im new here and new on the modeling business. Just picked up an Italeri Tiger 1/35, and after a lot of research (I mean a lot...) to find what scheme to do, I came across this model on the web that I liked - http://www.warbird-photos.com/gpxd/viewtopic.php?t=19095

So can anyone please help me find what color this is? Is it dunkelgelb or what?
