if it was triple XXX I would know.

Even if was Zim I have heard and read that only about 12 Brummbar were made anyway.

So why the big War on another example?

Just a question BTW for all Brummbar fanatics.

From the top of my head were a total of about 300ea built based on three main types., early. mid and late.

At least 60ea were build of the mid-type and they shold all have zimmerit.

My apologies on not checking first.

My bad and sorry 300 total is what I got.

Production began in May 1943 and continued until March 1945. A total of 298 Sturmpanzer IV were built, in four series. At first, new Panzer IV chassis were used, but from the second production series onwards, rebuilt Panzer IV Ausf. F, Ausf. G and Ausf. H were used.

Doesn't six X' then mean that there's twice the "X" in it?

No problem.

Dragon is saying that they didnt do zimmerit on purpose for their Mid Brumbär claiming that most modellers want to to it themselves?

Well maybe advanced modellers would like that but the main bulk would prefer having it included. The best thing however would be in thin sheets so one can make it peeled of in the areas one may want.
