TimDarrah Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 Besides Cavalier, who else makes resin zimmerit? I know there are other manufacturers, but right now I can't remember who. I'm looking for a set for my DML #6022 Pz IV, Ausf. J, Late. I'm going to be using my Bison Decals #35041 "Battle of Balaton Hungary, 1945". I've looked on e-Bay on only found the Eduard metal zimmerit, while I haven't used those, I just don't like the look of their zimmerit. Looks too flat. Thanks, Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGronovius Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 Atak made resin zimmerit. I have a few 1/72 scale sets, but I know they do 1/35 too. http://atakmodel.istore.pl/en/zimmerit-1-35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimDarrah Posted April 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 Thanks Rob, I forgot about them & I've used their stuff before!!! Don't you just hate the "Can't Remeber S---" syndrome? I'll scope them out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGronovius Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 I've used Eduard and Part (from Poland) PE zimmerit in 1/72 scale. In the smaller scales, it is Ok. Verlinden does some 1/35 stuff in PE too I think. My only Cavalier set is for the 1/48 scale Tamiya King Tiger. Looks pretty good and easy to work with.

Ralph Nardone Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 C'mon, Timmy...a little Elmer's Wood Filler, some Microballoons, and a trowel. Roll yer own, man... :) Ralph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGronovius Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 I was fortunate when I bought the Cavalier stuff; Great Model had a clearance and mismarked it as 1/32 scale, but it was 1/48 scale. Paid a real low price, plus I'm not all that into doing German armor, but even I knew that the Porsche turret King Tiger needed zimmerit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnRatzenberger Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Dang, sorry Tim, there was a vendor at AMPS/Danbury this weekend with some, looked like a complete line. Unfortunately I didn't pay enough attention to remember who. I looked on the show website, but none of the names ring a bell - maybe ask on the AMPS forum.

TimDarrah Posted April 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Ralph, You know that I'm lazy :-) John, Thanks for the info, I'll see what I can find. Rob, I've used Cavalier before and love the way they look and ease of use as well. Thanks all. Tim Mind you, since the Pz IV I want to build was destroyed in early 45, who knows if the zimmeritt was even on it? We ll know that was discontinued in mid-44.

CW4Mac Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 You might be thinking of Monroe Perdu, they had several Zimmerit sheets for sale. Regards, Mac McDaniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
