Historical background of the Zimmerit coating

Zimmerit was a special anti-magnetic coating applied to German armored vehicles produced during World War II, including the Panzer IV. Its purpose was to protect tanks against magnetic mines used by infantry. This coating was used by the German armed forces from 1943-1944, particularly on the Eastern Front and during the battles in France and Normandy in 1944. Thanks to it, models can achieve a highly authentic appearance.
