Tamiya 35187 - 1/35 Zimmerit Coating Applicator, Ideal for Military Modellers  [35187]

Precise Zimmerit Application with Tamiya 35187

The Tamiya 35187 1/35 Zimmerit Coating Applicator helps modellers reproduce the textured anti-magnetic coating found on WWII German tanks. It provides a repeatable way to add this distinctive surface to 1/35 scale builds without extensive hand sculpting.

Background and Modelling Importance

Zimmerit served as a protective textured layer on German vehicles during World War II to deter magnetic mines. For accurate military modelling, capturing that texture is often a major detail that improves the finished look under paint and weathering.

Set Contents and Practical Notes

The kit contains six metal saw blades crafted to form Zimmerit patterns on upright armour panels. Blade lengths vary from 1" to 2" (2.5cm to 4.5cm) to suit different panel widths. The applicator handle is sold separately as No. 74018. An instruction leaflet is included to explain selection of blades and recommended technique for best results.
