Post by John Glover »

Has any one removed Taigens Tiger 1 stick on zimmert. If you have, did the glue damage the plastic much as I read that the glue they use is pretty aggressive Just wanted to know before making a purchase. Thanks.

Yes, some have removed it. The glue is strong and may damage the plastic, so proceed with care or be ready for surface cleanup.

I've removed it from the Taigen Tiger 1 turret and rear panel and re-applied pieces from the Taigen zimmerit kit to replace them with no issues. I found once you start the initial peel it just comes off no problem. My tank was 4 years old though and had seen a lot of outdoor use so that might be why it was so easy

The Zimmerit just pealed off mine and went back on with help from supper glue.
