This product is especially intended for modelers who want to enhance and upgrade replicas of German tanks from World War II, which were factory-covered with an anti-magnetic coating that protected against mines attached by infantry.

Zimmerit was an innovative epoxy material used by the Third Reich in 1943–1944 on the surfaces of armored vehicles such as the Tiger I, Panther, Pz.Kpfw. IV, Jagdpanther, or Stug III.
