I'm searching the web for information about colour and especially the colour they used on this Tiger tank in Tunisia 1942.

It's somehow yellow in colour.

It's called Sand Yellow. or Sandgelb. The number designation is RLM 79. Vallejo and AK Interactive make it. Tamiya has a version they call Yellow Brown. Vallejo and AK Interactive have Afrika Corps paint sets.

Have fun with that beast. Does it come with ammo?

No ammo included in the parts.

However there is companies who makes extra parts to models.

On my shelf I have a Tamiya M1A2 Abrams mbt 1/35 scale. Pre painted as they looked like in second Iraqi war.

This 1/16 Tiger tank will be the first 1/16 I build and it will also be the first Axis model I'm doing.
It has always been in scale 1/35-Modern or WWII Allied.

Aha it's not only the paint I need I also need special tools.

The head of the screws is very tiny and my precisions screwdrivers I have is a little to big.

So I need smaller-Wonder where I can get this, 'cause I don't know what they are called.

I guess I need tools who is made for watches and wall clocks

Plenty of model tool sets available online but the better ones tend to be expensive.

I manage to find a even smaller screwdriver-Fits a little better, but not perfect.

Have made first two wheel.

You're looking for precision screw drivers.

Try to get a whole set, phillips, flat blades, small hex drivers, etc. in various sizes.
Sets tend to be less expansive, although you pay for what you get in terms of quality. You could order a set on line, but try looking in some "big box" stores and "national chain stores" and you may be surprised.

A good set will last you a lifetime and they are considered de rigueur as you get into more advanced types of models.
