Porsche King Tiger
Zmmerit is an anti magnetic anti tank mine coating that was used by the German between December 1943 to September 1944. It was discontinued as the German fear it is highly flamable when the tank is hit by a projectile. This was unfounded but the additional time that was needed for the coating to dry was unacceptable for war time Nazi Germany. It was never used after Second World War as newer portable anti tank weapon made Zimmerit impractical.

Base Coat
Applied the 1st Dark Yellow base coat.
This is the best time to analyze for any flaw before proceeding to the 2nd coat of paint.

King Tiger with Porsche Turret coated with Zimmerit.
I had used Tamiya epoxy putty to create the Zimmerit. I had to ensure that the epoxy putty is as thing as a piece of paper when add to the King Tiger. Prime and Ready to Paint.Thanks to the photographs I noticed some flaws that needs to be fixed before paiting.
