The Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf. B Tiger II, also known as the King Tiger or Tiger II, was one of the most powerful tanks used by the Wehrmacht at the end of World War II. The version with the Porsche turret was produced in limited numbers, distinguished by its unique turret shape and by the use of Zimmerit—a special coating applied to the hulls and turrets of armored vehicles in 1943-1944 to prevent magnetic mines from sticking.

The Tamiya 12649 Zimmerit Coating Sheet offers ready-to-use elements for quick and convenient application to your model. Thanks to laser-cutting, the sheets perfectly reproduce the historical Zimmerit pattern used on the King Tiger with Porsche turret. The product fits directly onto Tamiya's 1/35 King Tiger models (35169, 35187, and related kits). Installation of the sheet is simple and does not require specialized tools or complicated modeling techniques.

We especially recommend this product to modelers who want to easily, quickly, and precisely increase the realism of their model without the need for laborious application of Zimmerit texture by hand, which requires considerable skill. Perfect for both intermediate and advanced enthusiasts of German armored vehicles. Construction difficulty: 2/5 – requires careful placement and a certain degree of familiarity with decals and modeling accessories is recommended.

If you care about faithfully recreating the historical details of the King Tiger, the Tamiya 12649 Zimmerit Coating Sheet is an essential accessory for your workshop!
