The way I see it, is I can use it in a diorama in the future in which I can put a German tank and some more soldiers. Does anyone know of any German tanks that were in Czechloslovakia in 1945? I was thinking about using my Tamiya King Tiger which is meant for the Ardennes, but it truely doesn't build into one. The camo would probably be the same, but the markings would be off.

By the end of the war they had whatever they could get. Lots of assault guns were built during late 1944 and early 45 because no turret ment they were cheaper. (assualt guns, like stugs, jagdtigers, jagdpanzers etc. )
There would most likely be a few KTs and Tigers left, some panzer IV ausf J's. Just a jumble of stuff.
A quick search on google should give you some sites that will list units in that area at the time.
Camo could have been a number of things. Mainly depending on the unit and production time. Some would have regular camo, some ambush schemes, some with dark yellow turrets and camo hulls because they had to get a replacement turret, and just plain dark yellow. Often at the end of the war the large vehicles were painted in dark yellow because of paint shortages.
