For modellers chasing authentic WWII surface detail, the Tamiya 12644 1/35 Elefant Zimmerit Coating Sheet is a tidy solution. It replicates the anti-magnetic paste finish seen on German tank destroyers and is made to pair with the 1/35 German Heavy Tank Destroyer Elefant kit (35325). This avoids the fuss of sculpting Zimmerit from putty.
Zimmerit was applied to stop magnetic charges from adhering to armour. Reproducing that texture freehand can be time consuming and uneven. The textured sticker panels deliver consistent results fast. Place the panels onto the hull, smooth them down, then prime and paint for a convincing finish.
The coating sheet contains two different Zimmerit motifs so you can choose the pattern that best matches your kit option or reference material. That flexibility helps keep your model faithful to historical detail.
