 Subject:  The Zimmerit kit is basically the same as the Premium kitList thread.

Just with a new upper hull, turret, stowage bins, mantlet, etc. with zimmerit.

The instructions are awful.

Some other things I noted, if you want to model tank 232 it should have the AA machinegun ring on the cupola. The ring is in the kit but they tell you not to use it. 232 also had field mod stowage boxes on the rear engine deck over the back two grills. It also had zimmerit on the rear hull side panels which don't have zimmerit in the kit. 232 also had zimmerit on all the side skirts, not provided in the kit. It also has some other things you would need to add or change.
