Application tool Zimmermit Master Hobby-09916

Zimmerit was an antimagnetic coating that was applied to German armored vehicles during World War II between 1943 and 1944.
This special coating, composed mainly of cement, sand, and an adhesive, was intended to prevent enemy magnetic mines from adhering to the surface of tanks.
Its textured appearance was due to the tools used to apply it, which left a characteristic pattern on the surface.
However, its use was abandoned in 1944 due to unfounded rumors that it was flammable.
Despite its brief use, the Zimmerit has become an iconic detail on replicas and models of armored vehicles of the era.
