Atak is hands down the best AM Zimmerit.

These are some seriously detailed extras. Really like the scruffy Zimmerit on the Fehrmann Tiger. Not sure, however, if the turret on these were factory-coated with Zimmerit as they came from early Tigers, or if it was field-applied and therefore possibly not a match for the hull coating. Any thoughts?

Hey, Dr. Taeuss, I used to think that the hull and turret zimmerit patters were the same but as I looked through literally hundreds of photos I saw that the were all different. The smaller on the hull, larger on turret. I would think that anything with zim that was applied in the field would have maybe the same. But what I mention above is from hundreds of photos in I dunno how many Tiger books.
