SOLUTION BOX MINI 31– How to Apply ZIMMERIT in scale

What the set is for

Zimmerit was a paste-like compound with which the surface of German armored vehicles was treated during the Second World War so that magnetic charges would not stick to the armor. It was applied by hand, so it has a slightly different texture on every vehicle: horizontal ridges, a square pattern or coarse strokes. On a model it is a rewarding but tricky surface. Badly painted Zimmerit looks like plaster, while well painted Zimmerit holds the whole impression of the vehicle together.

What the set contains

A group of products from AMMO of Mig Jimenez that follow on from each other and are aimed at a single task, namely painting and bringing out Zimmerit. The exact make-up of the package, the volumes and the recommended order of the steps are given in the manufacturer's instructions. Choose the thinner and the thinning ratio according to the directions on the packaging, as the individual ranges differ in this.

Usage tips

• work in layers: a base, darkening in the recesses, lightening of the ridges and only then dust and deposits
• let each layer dry thoroughly, otherwise the products will dissolve the previous work
• try the shade out on an offcut of plastic first, not straight on the upper surface of the vehicle
• wipe the sediment in the direction in which water runs down the vehicle
• suggest chipped areas sparingly and in patches, as Zimmerit did not break off in regular dots

Who it is for

The set is for modelers of German land vehicles who want the products for one task together and with instructions. The model, glue and an airbrush are not part of the delivery, unless stated otherwise.
