Eduard 35521 Zimmerit Tiger I Mid. Production 1/35 Academy – Photo-Etched Parts for Academy Models

The Eduard 35521 Zimmerit Tiger I Mid. Production photo-etched set is designed to replicate the characteristic zimmerit coating on the Tiger I mid-production tank, dedicated to plastic models from Academy in the popular 1/35 scale. The high-quality photo-etched plate allows you to reproduce the irregular, textured, anti-magnetic surface that covered German tanks during World War II.

Tiger I Mid. Production represents a variant of the most famous German heavy tank, used between 1943–1944 by the Wehrmacht. A distinctive feature of these tanks was the zimmerit layer—a coating applied to protect vehicles from magnetic mines. These tanks gained renown during battles on the Eastern Front, in Italy, and in Normandy. The use of zimmerit was a result of German combat experience and concerns about modern anti-tank weapons; initially, it was applied to most Tigers produced, mainly during 1943-1944.

The Eduard 35521 set is made from precisely etched metal sheet, which allows for an exceptionally realistic zimmerit effect, impossible to achieve with standard modeling techniques. The photo-etched plate enables rapid and convenient application of an accurate, detailed texture to your model, greatly enhancing the visual appeal of any Tiger I replica.
