Be interesting to see how these fit and above all else look once applied. Personally, I have yet to find anything which compares to 'Cavalier' resin zimm sets which (IMHO) were about as perfect a package of detail, accuracy, fit and ease of use as one could possibly attain or ask for.

The question has to be, are they three dimensional? Under paint will they stand proud. I agree with redcap, the Cavalier were the best!

I'll stick with ATAK until I know more about these sets... these have my pet peeve...look at the zimmerit for the side shields - each shield is identical (same art repeated). Tell me that would really happen.

I don't see anything that would peak my interest. I agree with Engeee, I will stick with ATAK.

You guys need to try Mike Bishops stuff at Monreo Purdu it is simply the best stuff going and it provides that surface texture that none of the other options do. IT is as easy to use as caviler and he does the pattern to suit the versions It is the best in my opinion . Have fun

Wayneo, Thanks for the heads up about Monreo Purdu. A interesting site and their Zimmert looks interesting and priced nicely. I will give them a try on my next Zim project.

How thick are these if they're applied like a decal? Zimmerit needs thickness to get the right texture and depth. I'd really like to see how it handles that.

They and Monreo Perdu will have to reach the bar set by Atak.

Maybe they are resin-printed on a decal film like Archer's surface texture detail sheets.
