Zimmerit for King Tigers

I've been trying to source Zimmerit for my KT - not having much luck, there seems to be a shortage.

Been trying to find the Atak type.....
Does it matter if its for a Tamiya or an HL ? Presumably any little differences can be trimmed off ?

Anyone know any sources ? (Henschel turret)

The Atek kit fits mostly but the rear will require trimming. Also if memory serves me it comes with a bow machine gun part that is meant to replace the smooth one on the tank. But it doesn't fit right, I used green modeling putty to make the zim for this part.

If you use Milliput for a Zimmeritt finish on your Tiger 2 it wont be your work getting in the way it will be the frequent appointments with the psychiatrist, :crazy:
You do know that the United Nations have declared it a "Cruel and unusual punishment", :/ I was surprised that President Trump didn't suggest it instead of "Waterboarding" :haha:
My only thought is what have you done to "Jake" in the past for him to suggest it ? :lolno:
Use "ATAK" It is out there somewhere.
