If you want a King Tiger, go for the later kit (6303) which has Zimmerit.

You may also consider the “Battle of the Bulge” kit 8254) which doesn’t require Zim and includes 8 figures and some other goodies like a turned barrel.

Here’s some reviews you may wish to check out:

I would go with #6303 King Tiger with the zimm,I have build it and it is a nice kit.

I agree with the guys… go for #6303 King Tiger with zimm. Don’t listen to our friend Tony Lee… [:D]

Tony, we all love you our SPG guy… you know it!

Since it bugs me when kit makers / modelers say “henschel turret - porsche turret” when referring to a Tiger II (both turrets were nade by Krupp), I will side with Pvt Mutt and say go with the JagdTiger

They make a nice late Tiger I w/zimm #6383,it too is very good,only thing it has DS one piece tracks instead of magic tracks,but the one piece are pretty nice and easy to use.

I’ve built the Ardennes KT by Dragon (6232 IIRC) and it builds up very fast and pretty much with no problems. The only thing I added were some aftermarket tool clamps. My only real beef with the kit were the instructions that used actual photos instead of the line drawings. Kind of awkward but its still builds up nice.
