Nice, very nice for those who like them Germans.
But what about me, I don't hate them but I like them Yanks more.
Where is my Stryker ?
Will it still come this year ?

Last club meeting one of the guys had the King Tiger with the molded on zimm. He had two other examples of how zimm had been done in the past, resin and by using a paste and applicator, and while I don't do German stuff normally I could really see the advantage of doing it this way.

Come on Dragon... Get with the program!

Emmm, perhaps when they do U.S. H/Ts in 1/6th scale? The Pak 36 is 1/6th scale - follows on from their Kettenkrad in the same scale

I got the first Tiger II with zimmerit and I was absolutely stunned when I opened the box. The molded zimmerit is amazing! It's just gorgeous! I'll be buying all the Drazon zimmerit kits - sorry Atak and Cavalier!

Great news about the Porsche Tiger. The zimmerit manufacturers must be quite annoyed by this, but great news for the modellers.

Thanks for the update
