Default 1/16 Scale Zimmermitt Question

Hello,

Can anyone that has a FOV 1/16 scale Wittmann Tiger, tell me what the width is of the Zimmermitt indentations that are on the Hull/Turret of the model.

I want to replicate the Zimmermitt on a 1/16 RC model I'm building.

Thanks.

FOV Extreme Metal 1/16 - Tiger I Villers Bocage !!!

The zimm on the turret is the 'wrong' style. In reality the Tiger I turret zimm had larger ridges and was much more prominent than the hull zimm.





There are a FEW exceptions where both hull and turret zimm are the same width.

Hi,

Thanks for that info and the excellent pictures. I was just wanting a rough size to the width of the Zimmermitt indentation that they have used on these 1/16 scale Tigers, so that I have some thing to go off.

Cheers.
