Stevens International has started to import the interesting line
of Zimmerit from Cavalier Model Productions. This series of zimmerit
are designed for specific kits and the parts are designed to laminate
straight to the kit, and for those parts which would be too difficult
to attempt a laminate solution, Cavalier replaces a nicely cast
replacement part.
This set in particular was designed to provide Zimmerit for
the DML kit #6082, the Jagdpanzer IV/70(A). The sheet contains
fourteen parts cast from a thin and flexible resin. Simply cut
out the parts and laminate them over the kit hull in the places
indicated. Four additional parts are provided for the rear hull
and gun mantel which are direct replacements for the kit parts.
Once the zimmerit is applied, simply paint and weather accordingly.
The instructions provide clear guidance on when and where in
the kit assembly process these parts should be applied.
If you'd rather go through the process of applying putty or some
other substance on your model the old-fashioned way, by all means
go for it. If you do want zimmerit on your next project, but don't
want to make a career out of applying it, give this series a try!
Definitely recommended!
My sincere thanks to Stevens
International for this review sample!
