Steven,
Eastern front Tiger ll's deployed (Thuringen) in the summer and fall of 1944 should all have factory applied zimmerit (Henschel turm). Obviously, there may have been a few exceptions (tanks manufactured after mid September 44, when zim was discontinued). If you are interested in accuracy, I would definitely add zimmerit to the model. As to your second question, You can see some putty work and hand applied zim in my post, to adapt the PE set to the DML Tiger. I used Tamiya putty for this work, but, as a rule I usually use PE for most of my work. However, I am currently working on a Panther G to which I am applying Milliput extra thin putty and using the Tamiya zimmerit tools. Using techniques that I have learned through the FSM forum, this is coming out great, although it is time consuming. The technique is rolling the Milliput out into a sheet, using talcum, then applying it to the area on the model, trimming off excess, then apply the zim tool to create the pattern.
