Zimmerit on late Tigers
Posted by detailfreak on Monday, April 16, 2012 11:21 AM

                                      Having recently scored the Alfred Kurzmal Tiger on E-Bay I was wondering if these late Tigers should have Zimmerit?

Every Tiger I leaving the factory from Aug '43 onwards had zimmerit.  You can see a list of other features extant on zimmerit tigers (like the Cast cupola, for the most part)

Yes, sadly all late Tiger I Late's had zimmerit. I believe production ceased in August of 1944 and zimmerit soon after that.
