Mastering the Art of Zimmerit with Tamiya's Precision Tool

The Tamiya 35187 1/35 Zimmerit Coating Applicator is an essential tool for scale model enthusiasts aiming to authentically recreate the unique Zimmerit texture found on WWII German tanks. This applicator allows model builders to add a realistic anti-magnetic mine coating, enhancing the historical accuracy and visual appeal of their military models.

Historical Context and Modeling Relevance

Zimmerit was a paste-like coating applied to German armored vehicles during World War II to prevent magnetic mines from adhering to the surfaces. For serious modelers, replicating this texture is crucial for achieving an authentic look. The Tamiya 35187 applicator provides the precision needed to simulate this effect on 1/35 scale models.

Tool Features and Usage

This set includes six finely crafted metal saws designed to replicate the Zimmerit pattern on vertical tank surfaces. Each saw varies in length from 1 to 2 inches (2.5cm to 4.5cm), allowing for flexibility in application. While the applicator handle is sold separately (No. 74018), the included instruction sheet guides users through the process of applying Zimmerit effectively.
