Nigel Bunker Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 I'd like to make a model in 1/35 of the Panther Ausf G captured by the Coldstream Guards in 1944 in the Netherlands and subsequently used by them. I have decals from Kagero but need to get a kit. Looking on the interweb at the few photos available I see the tank is covered in Zimmeritt and I have no desire to make a model then cover it in putty to replicate the finish. Does any manufacturer make a kit with a moulded Zimmeritt finish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Wilson Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Dragon did certainly.. However IIRC the style of zimmeritt is wrong. Cuckoo had horizontal ridges like a Tiger whist the zimm on the Dragon kit is the more common vertical style. I'm sure others know more.

Stef N. Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Dragon are usually the company to look for for moulded on zim. Takom also do a G but not sure if it's the right pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Bunker Posted July 4, 2022 Author Share Posted July 4, 2022 I bought the Takom one. It even comes with (partial) decals for 'Cuckoo'. Just one more thing - none of the pictires I have found show the turret roof. As a captured tank, I am pretty certain it would have a white star on the turret roof so it could be udentified from the air. Anybody got any thoughts on this? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't find any evidence that it did except on other models. It would make sense that it did have a star on top though. You may just have to go for it.

Peter Browne Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Kit bought, but if you didn't know Atak produce some very nice Zimmerit sets: https://atakmodel.istore.pl/en/zimmerit-1-35 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
