Make Detailed Results More Accessible

Creating Zimmerit with putty requires patience and steady technique. Tamiya's pre-cut Zimmerit Coating Sheet simplifies the process so modellers at all levels can apply the textured finish. The adhesive shapes conform to the contours of the 1/35 King Tiger "Production Turret", producing a consistent look across the kit.

Why Use the Zimmerit Coating Sheet?

  • Simple Fit: Cuts down on the trial and error of manual texture work.
  • Accurate Pattern: Faithful reproduction of the original Zimmerit layout.
  • Kit Compatibility: Cut to match the Tamiya 1/35 King Tiger assembly (35164).

Specifications

  • Material: Adhesive Sticker Sheet
  • Application: Compatible with German King Tiger "Production Turret" (35164)
The pre-cut pieces are designed to follow the main turret contours, but some gentle burnishing and trimming may be needed on tighter curves.
No extra adhesives are required; the sheet is self-adhesive. Avoid strong solvents that could affect the sticker backing when cleaning the surface.
Yes. After priming, conventional weathering techniques like washes and dry-brushing work well to integrate the Zimmerit into your finish.
Handle parts with care during build. The adhesive is stable, but rough handling or repeated repositioning can reduce adhesion.
