New Dragon 1/35 tanks with Zimmerit

Modeling Subjects Armor
1

Hello !

I wish everyone a belated Merry Christmas . I am debating on purchasing a Dragon 1/35 King Tiger ( Henschel Turret ) with zimmerit . Is the zimmerit realist in texture and scale ? I realize it is not chipped or worn on the kit . I have done my own zimmerit on German Tanks , and it turns out " OK " , or looks out of scale in some cases , too thick , on 1/35 scale Armor . I do just fine with 1/25 or 1/16 scale armor . Any comments from the " Zimmerit Guys " out there ? Thanks in advance , and Happy Year’s to you all . So take care , and Happy Modelling . Looking forward to another Great Year in this Forum !

PS A long while ago , in this Forum , people were wondering what kit Dragon , would put out next , and in my reply I mentioned a tank with zimmerit , due to the moulding technology available . I guess to me anyway it is a dream come true .

Got to sign out now , the Gal is getting excited …About the New Year’s Party . LOL

I received Dragons KingTiger Porche turret with Zimm for christams. I think that the zimmerit is very well done. I am no expert on it but in my opinion it looks great.

I think it looks quite convincing. If you want to simulate damage, you can sand it down or maybe fill it in.

Got a Henschel for Christmas…looks good to me! Oh…one part I did note was there are no locating marks on the turret for where to place the spare tracks hangers.

Now…doing the kit justice…that’ll be the hard part.

…there are some areas that need to be corrected and worked with to appear “seamless”…
