Why this kit matters
The Sturmitiger was a heavily armed German assault gun used during WWII, notable for its thick armour and powerful armament. The Zimmerit coating was applied to prevent magnetic mines from sticking to the tank’s surface, a key feature of late-war German armour. This sheet allows model builders to accurately reproduce this surface detail, adding authenticity to their Sturmitiger models.
Recreating Zimmerit enhances the visual realism and historical accuracy of your model, making it a must-have upgrade for serious hobbyists aiming for high fidelity in their military models.
How to use it
Build using paint and glue. Carefully follow the instructions to apply the Zimmerit sheet onto your Sturmitiger model. Display proudly once complete, either as a standalone piece or part of a diorama.
This is a plastic model kit. Assembly, paint, and glue are required. It is not a toy.
