Notice about the zimmerit stickers from Tamiya :
It's very easy and quick to apply on this Tamiya model. There are two coating patterns for the turret (the "normal" as I used and the "wide groved" pattern as we can see on some original pictures of Tigers tanks. I'm very statisfied with the result and it's quite realistic, beter than the hand made pattern seen on most of models. I've choised to make a "not yet damaged" pattern but it's quite easy to create battered areas with a sharp blade cutter. The tickness of the plastic stickers sheet is in my opinion quite accurate.
STRONGLY RECOMMANDED !!!The model is now ready for the painting ... It will comes very soon !
