Production represents a variant of the most famous German heavy tank, used between \u003cstrong\u003e1943–1944\u003c\/strong\u003e by the Wehrmacht. A distinctive feature of these tanks was the zimmerit layer—a coating applied to protect vehicles from magnetic mines. These tanks gained renown during battles on the Eastern Front, in Italy, and in Normandy. The use of zimmerit was a result of German combat experience and concerns about modern anti-tank weapons; initially, it was applied to most Tigers produced, mainly during \u003cstrong\u003e1943-1944\u003c\/strong\u003e.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe Eduard 35521 set is made from precisely etched \u003cstrong\u003emetal sheet\u003c\/strong\u003e, which allows for an exceptionally realistic zimmerit effect, impossible to achieve with standard modeling techniques.
