Tamiya 12644 1/35 Elefant Zimmerit Coating Sheet - Easy Texture for Elefant Builds  [12644]

Practical Zimmerit finish for 1/35 Elefant models

For modelers focused on recreating WWII armour with convincing detail, surface texture matters. The Tamiya 12644 1/35 Elefant Zimmerit Coating Sheet offers a straightforward way to reproduce the anti-magnetic paste finish used on German tank destroyers. This accessory complements the 1/35 German Heavy Tank Destroyer Elefant kit (35325) and removes the need for hand sculpting with putty.

Improve scale appearance with minimal fuss

Zimmerit was applied to many German vehicles to prevent magnetic mines from sticking. Sculpting that pattern by hand can be slow and requires practice. These pre-textured sticker panels simplify the process. Align and press the pieces onto flat or gently curved areas, then prime and paint to integrate the texture into the model.

Two pattern options included

The sheet supplies two distinct Zimmerit motifs so builders can match the pattern to the kit marking option or reference photos. That choice keeps the finished model historically credible while letting you add a personal touch.
