I think that's an oil or cleaning spray rather than a paint spray.

could be,but when I was looking you can see some white ,spraying out,and by tthe looks of it,will take a lot of paint,

Google "paraffin gun".

ok will do,:D

I have one of those, used for cleaning full-size engines, and in the right lighting anything sprayed from it will look white.

The 2nd picture probably relates to this one


A scene from a field workshop before the tanks went to the front line in Normandy. You can see the crewman on the upper hull is holding the same spray gun.

Do be very careful when trying to interpret 70 year old photos because without any provenance to back them up, we can only guess at who or what they are.

Here's a picture of Annalise

do wish that the 1st pic was in shades of gray and white,
have come across the bottom pic,in my searchers,ta for them,

 

[stillp]

It doesn't help that some old monochrome film didn't reproduce colours in the appropriate shades of grey, so for example red comes out as white.

I'll be watching this Monica if only to see what beauty you turn this into ( also pinch a few ideas too on armour building ( tee hee )
Looking very good so far

Not in Normandy. Annalise was taken back to Germany for repairs, sprayed white in the factory.

Only 50 Tiger Bs with Porsche turrets were built, including 3 prototypes. All that served in Normandy were destroyed, apart from Annalise.
