I haven't tried it in 1/35 scale yet, but their 1/48 scale zimmerite is fantastic. It is also very easy to install. Put down an acyrlic primer coat and then use white glue. I thin it down a little.

Well these look good! What a great choice in Zimmerit patterns too. Going to have to look further into getting something like this -provided it doesn't cost the larger part of the kit's price! At that point thrifty me will just roll-up his sleeves and spend a less-than-calm evening cussing out crooked lines...

The vendor's website lists the Meng Panther sets at $20 each, and the Takom Bergepanther set at $15.

Just wondering if anyone out there has any experience with these? They look good from the images but as Zimmerit was a rough-textured form of cement applied to the tanks and was very much a three-dimensional addition, how does these paper laser print-outs compare to the real thing or am I cursed to continue with putty and toothed scrapers?

Is it just me, or does those prices seem a little steep for laser cut and textured paper? And those are US dollars! (25% more in CDN).
