Apply Accurate Zimmerit Texture to Your King Tiger Model

The Tamiya 1/35 King Tiger Henschel Zimmerit Coating Sheet is designed to help modellers reproduce the distinct Zimmerit anti-magnetic coating seen on WWII German tanks. It streamlines the process compared with sculpting putty while preserving an authentic finish.

Detailed Finish with Minimal Fuss

Working Zimmerit from putty can be fiddly and time consuming. Tamiya's pre-cut Zimmerit Coating Sheet makes the process far more manageable, allowing modellers of varying experience to add the textured surface. The adhesive components are cut to match the 1/35 King Tiger "Production Turret", giving a tidy, period-correct result.

Key Benefits of the Zimmerit Coating Sheet

  • Low Complexity: Reduces the need for advanced putty techniques.
  • Faithful Pattern: Emulates the Zimmerit texture used historically.
  • Designed Fit: Made to suit the Tamiya 1/35 King Tiger kit (35164).

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: Adhesive Sticker Sheet
  • Application: Compatible with German King Tiger "Production Turret" (35164)
Small adjustments are possible right after placement, but repeated repositioning will weaken adhesion. Aim for accurate alignment on first fit.
No special method is required. Prime the surface, then use standard modelling paints and weathering to integrate the texture into your finish.
The sheet is thin and aimed to preserve part fit. Check clearances during dry fit, especially if the kit has tight joins or additional aftermarket parts.
Use a soft plastic scraper or a cotton swab with isopropyl alcohol sparingly to remove residue. Test first on an unseen area to avoid damage.
