Started doing the Tamiya Early Tiger kit this weekend, and I have a question. I am doing this vehicle for an North Africa look, and all the pics I show don’t show the vehicle with zimmerit. Is that normal for the vehicles sent to North Africa, I am assuming it is as the Brits and Americans didn’t use the magnetic mines. Am using the Eduard PE set along with a JR barrel. Any advice would be welcome[:D]
Miller41, you are correct, no zimmerit in North Africa. Zimmerit was first demonstrated at Kummersdorf on June 5th, 1943. The DAK’s last combat actions took place on April 28/30, 1943, so even if the US or British would have had magnetic mines, zimmerit was not yet developed.
