Eduard 35379 Zimmerit Elefant/Ferdinand 1/35 Dragon is a high-quality photo-etched metal set designed to replicate the characteristic anti-magnetic Zimmerit coating on an Elefant/Ferdinand model in 1:35 scale, offered by Dragon. This product is a specialized modeling accessory, allowing an accurate reproduction of the historic armor texture of the German tank destroyers used during World War II.

The Elefant (Ferdinand) was a heavy German tank destroyer that made its debut during the Battle of Kursk in 1943. Previously known as Ferdinand, it was later upgraded and renamed Elefant. It was used by the Wehrmacht from 1943 to 1945, first on the Eastern Front and later also in combat in Italy. This vehicle was famous for its powerful armament, thick armor protection, and the application of Zimmerit coating, designed to protect against infantry-supported magnetic mines.

The Eduard 35379 set is made from precisely etched brass sheet, providing exceptional detail and a highly realistic appearance when applied to a plastic model. The kit comes with accurately cut sheets that allow you to replicate the detailed Zimmerit patterns factory-applied by the Germans, in accordance with historical records. The product is intended for Dragon's 1:35 scale model series, ensuring a perfect fit of the elements.
