Re: Panther or T-34/76
Tamiya does the sticky back zimmerit for their Panther G, which has a different hull shape, and slightly different turret contours. You could always go old school and use putty and tools to make your own zimmerit… With the Panther A that’s not a bad idea as there were different Zimmerit configurations during its production run.

Re: Panther or T-34/76
Honestly… doing my own zimmerit with putty and tool and is very intimidating and I don’t have the confidence to attempt it.
How slightly different would the turrent be between the A and the G? Slightly as in larger or smaller? Would it work to use on the Panther A?

Re: Panther or T-34/76
Found this but pricey but Im willing to spend for it. It is for late Panther A. I’m assuming it would work?

Re: Panther or T-34/76
Sorry Tom, late back to the conversation, I was going to say that yes, the Tamiya is sticky-back (I'd missed your link). But as Stik has said, that's for a Panther G. Alas I don't know the difference either.
The stuff for the Meng kit might work, you might have to cut/trim a few bits to fit, but I'm sure that's not a problem.

This picture shows all of the different styles of the Zimmerit that was used on the various German armor vehicles.

Yeah, I noticed there are various types in various German armor vehicles recently.

Re: Panther or T-34/76
I don't have an issue if I need to trim them to fit. Making my own zimmerit with putty? Oh hell no.... I don't have the confident to do it old school.Stuart wrote: ↑Sat Feb 22, 2025 4:44 am Sorry Tom, late back to the conversation, I was going to say that yes, the Tamiya is sticky-back (I'd missed your link).

Made my choice which tank I will do next. An In Progress thread is up.
