Tamiya 12644 Zimmerit Coating Sheet Elefant (1/35)

The product is designed for modelers who wish to recreate the authentic, historical appearance of the German tank destroyer Elefant, which was used by the Third Reich during World War II.

Zimmerit was a special anti-magnetic coating applied to German vehicles in 1943-1944, mainly during World War II. Its purpose was to protect vehicles from magnetic shaped charges. One of the vehicles to receive the characteristic grooved zimmerit texture at the factory was the Panzerjäger Tiger (P) Elefant – an armored vehicle used, among others, during the Battle of Anzio and in the defense of the Gothic Line in Italy.
