>>5820429>>5820388Its preshaded, although it's barely visible in pics, irl it's more accentuated
And yes, in that side I was too excited and didn't test the pressure before painting and it was too much. But it leveled itself and now it's more normal. Anyway it's getting a stripe pattern so it doesn't matter much
>>5820479What division/unit? In that area and time the 3rd panzer army was deployed along the 4th army (these are near konigsberg/Kaliningrad and Pomerania) but I'm not sure that they were equipped with tigers 1 (a rare sight at those stages of the war). Your best bet is the heavy panzer battilon ss 505 which operated I east Prussia until the end of the war, and they were equipped with tigers 1 for sure.
Here you have a good reference for tiger units
http://www.fprado.com/armorsite/tigers-02.htmAs for the formation "it depends": if marching the light units scout ahead or flank. If in combat/high probability of it the heavy units assume the spearhead and the light flank or give support. These is theory as in practice things aren't that perfect so take the initiative and so what gives the most pleasant composition of volumes if you can't find a definitive answer. Look for "convoy" photos to see if you can find some reliable ref
