Tamiya 12644 - 1/35 Elefant Zimmerit Coating Sheet For 35325 German Tank Destroyer Elefant  [12644]

Tamiya 1/35 Elefant Zimmerit Coating Sheet: A Practical Addition for Realism

For model enthusiasts dedicated to recreating historical military vehicles, achieving authentic details is paramount. The Tamiya 1/35 Elefant Zimmerit Coating Sheet provides an efficient solution for replicating the distinctive anti-magnetic paste used on German tank destroyers during World War II. This product specifically complements the 1/35 scale German Heavy Tank Destroyer Elefant model (35325), offering an alternative to traditional putty methods.

Enhancing Historical Accuracy

The Zimmerit coating was a unique feature of many German armored vehicles, designed to counteract magnetic mines. Applying this texture manually can be both challenging and time-consuming, often requiring advanced skills. However, Tamiya’s sticker sheet simplifies this process significantly. By aligning and adhering the pre-textured stickers to the model, hobbyists can achieve a realistic Zimmerit effect with minimal effort. Once applied, the stickers are ready to be painted, seamlessly integrating into the model's overall appearance.

Two Patterns for Versatility

The coating sheet includes two distinct patterns, allowing builders to select the one that best matches their chosen marking options from the kit. This flexibility ensures that each model retains its historical accuracy while providing a personalized touch to the final display piece.
