1/72 SdKfz186 Jagdtiger w Zimmerit
Trumpeter 1/72 Sd.Kfz.186 Jagdtiger w/ Zimmerit is a plastic kit of the German Jagdtiger tank destroyer with a Zimmerit finish. The completed model is just under 15 cm long. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
The Sd.Kfz. 186 Jagdtiger tank destroyer used the chassis of the Tiger II heavy tank and carried a 12.8 cm gun in its fixed superstructure. Vehicles from the first part of production were coated at the factory with Zimmerit, a paste intended to stop magnetic mines from sticking; its use was discontinued in September 1944.
The Trumpeter kit in 1/72 scale depicts the Jagdtiger with the characteristic ridged Zimmerit texture, which distinguishes early vehicles from later production and gives the model a striking surface.
At just under 15 cm long, the finished model fits well into a collection of small-scale German armour. The Zimmerit texture really comes alive with careful light-and-shade work and subtle weathering. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
