I might recommend Gum Ka for a good Zimmerit tool.  I believe it is a Japanese company.  Frequently available on eBay, but also Japanese retailers like HobbyLink Japan and RainbowTen.  The Zim tool is supposedly more accurately scaled and versatile than Tamiya's.  The company makes decent photoetch, and was the first company to produce engine screens for Dragon's 3 in 1 1/35 Initial Tiger I.  Good luck!

I have the AFV Zimm tool it comes with 2 little roller in difrent width's and the tool it's self can be used to get in the tight spots, from what i can tell about the Tamiya set is it comes with 6 difrent parts kinds looks like photo etched fret they look like rakes and you have to buy the tool handle sepretly i only paid 12 bucks for mine the Tamiya is 7 bucks and then you have to buy the handle for it so IMO id get the AFV Zimm tool.
