Zimmerit was a distinctive feature of German tanks during World War II, developed to prevent magnetic mines from sticking to their armor. Introduced in 1943, this textured paste was applied to vehicles such as the Panther and Tiger tanks, giving them a characteristic ridged pattern surface that made them easily recognizable.

Zimmerit has always fascinated modelers and military history buffs, raising critical questions about its application, weathering, and authenticity. How thick should it be? Which patterns are historically accurate? How can it be painted and weathered realistically?

This definitive guide from AMMO delivers everything you need to know, helping you master recreating Zimmerit in scale, including the appropriate painting and weathering techniques to achieve truly stunning results.
