This kit is based on an earlier kit (Item No.6397). What’s special about this kit is the integral Zimmerit coating that was present on vehicles produced in the August 1944 timeframe. To correctly depict this anti-magnetic mine coating, entirely new parts have been created by the designers. Examples include the fenders, fighting compartment, mantlet, glacis, lower hull and rear plate. Not only is the molded Zimmerit a great time-saving solution for model-makers, but it’s also rendered with the touch of a master modeler. Indeed, its progenitors say it’s one of the best Zimmerit coatings they’ve ever produced on a model! Their craftsmanship means modelers can forget about the tedious job of applying Zimmerit themselves. This was a distinctive German armored vehicle of WWII, and Dragon has just made it stand out all the more!
