If anyone is building a King tiger this might be of interest to you. It is zimmerit designed for the 1/16 scale tamiya KT...so to be honest i'm not sure just how different it might fit a Heng Long. If i weren't busy with all the mini projects with the Tiger 1 I'd just take a chance on it. Have been thinking of repainting mine anyway, it functions perfectly but I'm still not happy with the paint...and this would be a nice touch.
Here's a picture of the zimmerit, and the link, its on ebay by blueslateman. I sent an email asking why can i not just buy it, but i was told for some reason you have to bid on it and wait. If you are buying from the USA you can't get a shipping quote then and there you send a request for the shipping quote, or something like that.
I have used these before and you should know that they are very lightly textured and you apply it like a stick on decal. It is design for the Production Henschel turret so it will not fit your HL Early Porsche turret.
In that case it's a good thing the bid wouldn't go through. For some unexplained reason the page said "cannot sell to california". As it happens that's where I am. I cannot fathom their logic but that's what it said.
I have seen these sheets selling for a lot more then this. In the $30 range...now I know to avoid it! There's always putty and a tool after all...I just sent off for a new gravity feed airbrush, because I am redoing the paint on the king tiger, and I'll have to decide to Zim or not by the time it gets here... Whether it gets the Zimmerit or not depends on what deals I find on the sheets.... I've seen the Atak, looks good but I'm a big ol' cheapskate. And lazy besides so if i had to do the putty zimmerit, I may just forego the Zimmer it this time too.
For all the time and money spent on them, The tanks are almost complete mechanically, runs perfectly (the HL 2.4 ghz radio was the smartest thing I ever bought for it, liked it so much I sent away for another for the Tiger 1) now I want it to look perfect as well! instead of the abstract art project that it seems to have become after so many amateurish attempts at the camo job. Time will tell... the lousy $10 airbrush from harbor freight was definitely the wrong tool to use for this purpose...and i should have known better before i started that i would need a real airbrush for the job.
