I can actually answer a question. Cool Prototype was first. Panzer Gray RAL 7027 Then Wehrmacht Olive before getting standard three colour scheme.
Interior is light cream.

thank you shawn. i wasn't sure if the pictires i saw on a site were german or russian. 3 color it is.
The picture I have of the only operational Maus that was produced although there were others in a state of production which was fitted with a turret and machine gun(12.8 cm L/55 gun and 1 coaxial 7.5 cm L36.5 gun) was painted with an undercoat of that Dark yellow colour with Green and Brown jagged stripes to break up the shape.
3 sites have said the russians captured two which were damaged and they combined them to make one. so i don't know the correct story. but the colors you suggest seem right. thanks.
