Meng Model 1:35 - Sd.Kfz.171 Panther Zimmerit Decals
When Germany started the production of the Panther Ausf. A, Zimmerit was used to cover the metal armour of the vehicles to prevent magnetic anti-tank mines from sticking to it. Zimmerit was applied to Panther tanks in different patterns as there was no exact requirement on the appearance of this coating.
Meng has selected four most popular and hard to replicate Zimmerit patterns and created a series of easy to use water slide decals representing those patterns. Use one of them with the TS-035 Sd.Kfz.171 Panther Ausf. A (Late) kit to add more realism to your Panther model.
Available options:
SPS-050 Sd.Kfz.171 Panther Zimmerit Decal A (Type 1)
SPS-051 Sd.Kfz.171 Panther Zimmerit Decal B (Type 2)
SPS-052 Sd.Kfz.171 Panther Zimmerit Decal C (Type 3)

Meng Model 1:35 - Sd.Kfz.182 King Tiger Interior (Henschel turret) - Plastic model kit #SPS-037
The Tiger II, or Panzerkampfwagen Tiger Ausf. B, was a German heavy tank of the Second World War. It is also known under the informal name Königstiger, often translated as King Tiger by Allied soldiers.
Based on the Tiger I, the Tiger II combined the thick armour of its predecessor and the sloped armour of the Panther tank. The tank weighed almost seventy tonnes. It was protected by 100-180mm armour at the front, and was armed with the long barrelled Kampfwagenkanone 8.8cm 43 L/71 gun which proved to be efficient against all Allied tanks.

Meng Model 1:35 - Sd.Kfz.182 King Tiger Zimmerit Decal - Plastic model kit #SPS-039
Zimmerit was used on WWII German AFVs since 1943 to cover the metal armour of the vehicle to prevent magnetic anti-tank mines from sticking to it. Zimmerit had the consistency of a thick paste or putty that after application was patterned and then hardened with a blow torch. This process usually happened at the factory and the patterns could vary depending on where the vehicle was produced. In the late 1944 Zimmerit was discontinued from application due to concerns that it could catch fire.
These water slide decals have a 3D printed texture to replicate Zimmerit applied to the early Kingtigers. This set is perfect for the Kingtiger Sd.Kfz.182 (Henschel Turret) kit from Meng.
