Question About Turret Disassembly After Applying Zimmerit (Heng Long Tiger I)

Post by yongho »

“I’m planning a late-production conversion of my Heng Long Tiger I using Taigen Zimmerit. I noticed that applying Zimmerit to both sides of the turret could make it impossible to separate the turret lower section later for internal maintenance. Has anyone found a good solution for this?”

Hello, I've never installed Zimmerite before, but judging from the various photos on this forum, I think that if you stop at the junction point between the two rooms, it shouldn't be a problem? After that, it's possible.
To conceal the joint, by not gluing the Zimmerite to that part? You don't disassemble that part every day. There are plenty of turrets with Zimmerite on this forum; look at the Tiger I post :wave:

My Tiger 217 is a HL that i added Zim too.

I just put a slice in the Zimmerit its hard to notice. Unlike that pistol port thats not supposed to be there.....
