seems to be out of stock everywhere, if someone has an unused set laying about I would much appreciate buying it off of you.

I cannot remember a time when I last saw "ATAK" Zimmerit for the Panzer 4.
Anyone who knows of a dealer with it in stock I would be most pleased

You can order zimmerit direct from atak model
https://atakmodel.istore.pl/en/zimmerit-1-16
They dont seem to have it listed for the Tamiya Henschel King Tiger which is a bit odd seeing as the make the stuff.
ronnie42 used the Trumpeter zimmermit kit on his 1st generation rc king tiger

you could ask him how well it fits and perhaps go for that kit instead.

I have the Tamiya supplied Zimmerit from my 2017 Tamiya KT build. It looks OK, but I prefer a bare 'metal ' look on the KT, especially with the Tamiya's subtle turret pitting. Just a personal choice, I guess.
I don't know how much more superior the Atak version is to Tamiya's own offering, but the pack I received looks perfectly fine.

When I got Gary Farrow to zimmerit mine (torro king tiger) he couldn't source it in this country. He had to get it directly from Atak.

ahh maybe I will just stick with bare metal finish, I did notice and like the casting pores in the plastic Tamiya did.

Hi
I have one in the pile of to do for a static Trumpeter but I did see if it would fit the Tamiya one a while back and found it was not perfect. While it could be made to fit with some putty it would need a fair bit of fettling, mainly on the turret.
cheers
