Tamiya 12671 Zimmerit Coating Sheet Elefant (1/48)

Tamiya 12671 Zimmerit Coating Sheet Elefant (1:48) is a high-quality accessory dedicated for 1/48 scale models, used to realistically recreate the Zimmerit coating on the heavy tank Sd.Kfz. 184 Elefant. Zimmerit was a special anti-magnetic paste applied to German armored vehicles during World War II to prevent magnetic mines from being attached to them.

The product is manufactured by the renowned Japanese company Tamiya and allows you to easily achieve a professional effect without the need to manually apply putty or modeling pastes. Tamiya 12671 are self-adhesive sheets made from high-quality, thin material imitating Zimmerit texture, precisely replicating the historical patterns used on the Elefant. This allows you to quickly and cleanly convert a standard model of this tank into a highly accurate replica—both in terms of appearance and surface details.
