How about this http://www.tiger-tank.com/secure/journal.htm
50 pages of the restoration of the Bovington Tiger.

Here's one. Includes drawings and the like. The folks who recommended on
another NG say the drawings are spot-on accurate, too.

If you're going to go competition class with the build, you'll be better
served using Thomas Jentz's extensive books on Tiger tanks rather than
websites alone. He's written a bunch of them. At one time, if you bought
one of the larger hardback books through him, you could send him the
Tiger vehicle you wanted to model, e.g. chassis number range, and he'd
send as much info as he had on that particular vehicle, including
stowage configurations, combat history, and units served. Unsure if that
offer of assistance still stands though; me thinks probably not, but who
knows. The books are comprehensive nonetheless.

I think white washed Dunkelgelb Tiger I's were Eastern Front vehicles
for the most part. I'm sure there are probably photos of Tiger I's on
the Western Front in the winter of 1944-1945 with a white wash scheme,
but I've never seen them. Mostly depends on which Tiger I kit you have,
with early and mid Tiger models being Eastern front, and late models
possible both Eastern Front and Western Front. Eastern Front you really
can't wrong though.
