Thanks...Tom

Hello Tom,
There wasn't a set width for zimmerit and it was applied using a roller. My suggestion would be to look at pictures of the 1/35th zimmerit sets available for the KT, such as the Meng one and do your calculations from that. An auction site has some good pictures. Also zimmerit was not applied after Normandy on the Western Front so if doing an Ardennes KT for example then no zimmerit.
Regards,
Will.

Hello Will, I watched the actual KingTiger at the 2018 Militracks and counted each rolled Zimmerit impression. I came up with 28 rolled marks across the turret . I can do the math from there... Thanks for your help....

Meng zimmerit has 27 but not all same width. Good correlation.
