shaunthe source material I have says that rumours from the frontline troops that the zim caught fire when hit was the reason they discontinued it...jarndice wrote:Here is a question for David, I have always been given to understand that the German army ceased using Zimmerit when the High Command realised that it was only the German Army who was using magnetic mines! What say you my hero.
I have used all the methods described here. Stencils with airbrush, microsol, laquer thinner, and even just plain old free hand brush painting. I like laquer thinner if I want it to look old and faded and worked in. If it is a complicated 2 or 3 tone number I really like the Montex stencils but you really have to plan when using them as they are applied at different levels of the painting process.
Just my 2 cents...
