Just zimmer it ✔️

My friends, this was intense! Every plate of the Jagdpanther was seriously enjoyable, but the front, the most important one, was tough, mainly because of my poor planning. I decided to zimmer it all in one go and it started becoming too hard to work with about two hours in 😅

But hey, I'm glad it's done and just like with the Tiger F13, it's a very satisfactory feeling when you do it yourself. Zimmerit in real life was never perfect, in fact it was truly hideous in most cases, but if you put some care into it, use a straight edge here and there and take your time, it's gonna look pretty neat with some tiny imperfections here and there which will give it that nice, authentic look. Resin Zimmerit sheets are okay, but their edges never look realistic to me personally. They're just too thick and it really shows around openings for tool clamps, small fixtures and edges.

I'm also including historical pictures of the one I'm building. The color profile in kit's instructions caught my eyes (it's a complete make-believe as you can't tell the camo from photos) and when I searched for the real one, I was happy to see it had square tile Zimmerit and tools moved to the back. And yes, I'll be adding the tiny welds from the removed tool clamps and fixtures 😁
