ArmorFX Zimmerit Paste

The Zimmerit coating, developed by the German chemical company Chemische Werke Zimmer & Co., was applied to German armored vehicles in mid-late WWII, specifically from August 1943 until September 1944. This coating had the function of protecting armored vehicles from infantry HEAT magnetic mines being placed on their surfaces. The idea was to apply a coat of Zimmerit paste on the armor to create a rough, non-magnetic surface that reduced the chances of mines sticking to the vehicle.
The coating was imprinted with textured patterns, often wavy or grid-shaped, using special tools. These patterns were not only highly distinctive, but also increased the effectiveness of the Zimmerit by reducing the contact area of the magnets with the surface of the vehicle.
AMMO presents the first quick-drying acrylic paste to represent Zimmerit coatings on your models. Apply the Zimmerit paste to the model using a spatula, then use one of the Zimmerit tools included in the set A.MIG-8583 Zimmerit Applicator to reproduce the authentic patterns easily and realistically. This paste has the same color as the original paste, providing an extremely authentic finish to your models.
