They probably did not update the pictures for the new sets yet. The pricing is consistent with other 1/16 full sets. I personally expect the same components that are included with their 1/35 scale Miag equivalent below, including Zimmerit for the Schurzens that comes with the 1/16 Heller model. It should normally be easily adaptable to the Takom/Das Werk model with some adjustments. After having done the Zimmerit on a Heng Long Stug III using their Zimmerit plain sheet last year, having this custom 1/16 Stug kit should really improve the experience.

Always useful to have a spare sheet of uncut matching Zimmerit for any custom parts you may need, especially if you are applying it to a kit using a pack designed for another model. However, best tip l can give is to use a paste such as 'No More Nails' to fix the pieces in place. I know l've said this before but.....
- the glue holds pieces in position immediately but is easy to adjust for a minute or two,
- just squeeze any surplus to the edges and wipe off,
- use the paste as a filler to give clean edges and use a blade edge to form your own pattern in the paste where required.

It's all a pain in the arse but it looks great when fitted well. Great news that it's still available.

I've just ordered a set direct from Atak, order was processed very quickly and despatched next day. I'm not sure what type of adhesive to use with these?
