Just wondering if anyone has used the Cavalier Zimmerit, and any opinions of the product. I just ordered some, and am looking froward to it coming in!

Bribo,
While I have about a dozen of these sets, I have only added one to a kit.
I added, some time ago, the zimmer to a PzKpfz V (ausf G). It is FANTASTIC! A little short about the edge (I used the Tamiya kit), but this can be filled easily with some putty.
My only warning, I used slow cayano glue instead of the two-part epoxy recomended. If you do this, DO IT IN A WELL VENTILATED ROOM! Yes, my eyes got burned a bit from the fumes. It smarts!
That said, once the glue dried, it looks great. Just wish I get around to finishing that kitty.....

I have used 1 set on a King tiger and I have 2 more sets to use someday.........I recommend you use a 2 part epoxy...... it will give you a little extra time to place the resin sheets exactly where you want them. ......Otto
