Accurate Zimmerit Effect for 1/48 Sturmtiger Models

Modellers seeking historically accurate surface detail will find the Tamiya 12672 Zimmerit Coating Sheet an effective option. Tailored for the 1/48 Sturmtiger kit (Item 32591), it enables recreation of the anti-magnetic mine coating without the need for hand-applied putty textures.

Apply and Paint for Reliable Results

Hand-sculpted Zimmerit patterns require practice to master. This coating sheet offers a proven alternative: apply the sheet, trim to shape, and paint over to produce an even, convincing textured finish that blends with standard paintwork.

Designed to Fit the 1/48 Sturmtiger

The sheet is made to match Tamiya's 1/48 German Assault Mortar Sturmtiger lines, helping achieve a neat fit along panels and rivet runs. The added texture improves the kit's visual authenticity when painted and weathered.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Material: Sticker sheet
  • Application: Paint over after application
  • Compatibility: Designed for Tamiya 1/48 Sturmtiger (Item 32591)

How should I prepare the kit surface before applying the sheet?

Ensure panels are clean and free of mould release agents or dust. Lightly degrease with isopropyl alcohol and dry thoroughly so the adhesive bonds properly.

Does the sheet change how I should weather the model?

Weathering steps remain largely the same, though the textured surface may catch pigments and washes differently. Test techniques on a spare piece to dial in the effect.

Will the sheet survive handling during assembly?

Once firmly applied the sheet is stable, but avoid heavy handling until paint and any seal coats are applied to prevent edges lifting during later assembly.

Can I cut the sheet to match small fittings like hatches?

Yes. Carefully trim around hatches and fixtures with a sharp knife. For very small details consider masking those areas and applying the sheet only to the surrounding plates.
