Upgrade Your King Tiger with Correct Zimmerit Surface

The Tamiya 1/35 King Tiger Henschel Zimmerit Coating Sheet gives scale builders a clean method to recreate the Zimmerit anti-magnetic coating seen on WWII German tanks. It avoids lengthy putty techniques while delivering a convincing textured finish.

Accessible Texture for All Skill Levels

Applying Zimmerit by hand is often left to experienced modellers. With Tamiya's Zimmerit Coating Sheet, builders at every level can achieve a consistent texture. The adhesive pieces are shaped to suit the contours of the 1/35 King Tiger "Production Turret", helping maintain correct appearance across the model.

Advantages of This Zimmerit Sheet

  • Quick to Apply: Cuts build time compared with hand-sculpted Zimmerit.
  • Accurate Texture: Mirrors the Zimmerit pattern used historically.
  • Tailored Fit: Intended for 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)
Minor trimming is sometimes needed for perfect alignment on edges or seam lines. Use a sharp hobby knife and steady hands for best results.
Gently sand or feather the joins after priming and use panel washes or pigments to hide transitions while retaining texture.
Most plastic primers work fine. Test a small area first if using solvent-heavy primers to ensure there is no lift or softening.
