Wow...real moving running gear for the new 1/35 Panther A release date Dec 2017. Too bad the zimmerit is cheesy stickers...not like Dragon's excellent molded zim.
Anyway..here's a pic...& link to buy....sold separately.
This seems so familiar...Tamiya Tiger I are the exact same type of zim sticker...hhmmm....those moveable tracks seem like Tamiya battery operated tracks?????? Tell me I'm wrong? Is MENG a Tamiya brand? It would say on the box init? ("init" is native jive talk..meaning "right"? Sort of lol Derived from the slang "heck init"...from the Rez yo)

The zimmerit is not a sticker but a decal.

I have used these zimmerit decals on the Academy Tiger and I have to say they are actually quite nice. They look the part, easy to put on and easy to battle damage (actually a little too easy if you aren't careful)

Thus far I’ve tried Tamiya sticker zimmerit, moulded-on zimmerit, and ATAK zimmerit. I’m the biggest fan of the ATAK option. When you break some off it chips realistically.

Somewhere on the internet there is a British-American
slang/colloquialism dictionary,
maybe there should be a Canadian-American as well.
Some words/expressions are outright dangerous since they
have very different meanings in different languages.
