The vehicle type King Tiger (Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf. B "Königstiger") with Henschel turret is one of the most famous German heavy tanks used at the end of World War II. Zimmerit, a special anti-magnetic coating, was factory-applied to protect against magnetic mines.

The self-adhesive sheets offer excellent adhesion, resistance to modeling paints, and are easy to trim.

This accessory is recommended for all modelers building historical dioramas and WWII armored vehicles who want realistic textures and quick, professional results. It's also an excellent choice for collectors who value top quality and historical accuracy in their models.
