Ridged anti-magnetic coating suits quarter scale too. Zimmerit sets at 1:48 transfer the characteristic combed surface of German armour of 1943 and 1944 onto smaller kits, where scribing the pattern into putty by hand would demand an exceptionally steady touch. The relief is cut to the armour plates of one specific kit, so the panels sit where they should without trimming the edges to fit.
The kit each set is cut for is given in its description, and the vehicles themselves are in 1:48 military vehicle model kits. The history of the coating and the general method of applying and overpainting it are covered in Zimmerit for military vehicles. Grilles and fittings that finish a quarter-scale machine come from 1:48 photo-etched parts.
