Hi, I am getting ready to start my King Tiger and came across this paint scheme. Does anyone know if if this is anywhere near a historically accurate paint scheme? Thanks for your help.

Bryan. in short, no, not historically accurate. If you want to build a Tiger 2 without zimmerit, with very few exceptions it would be painted in factory standard hard edge cammo pattern. Here are a couple of examples.
