2025 ARMORTEK KIT SURVEY

Over the last few years we have brought out a whole series of kits as a direct result of your feedback - kits like the Pershing, JagdPanther, Hetzer, Leopard 2A4, and more recently the Sd Kfz 7, 88mm Flak 36 and the upcoming Challenger 2.

So, in keeping with what has become and annual tradition, here is your opportunity to once again influence our future production plans.

We have added in some "guide pricing" next to the names of the models. This is a rough estimate of the price at the current rates.

Thanks in advance for your input and we look forward to the results.

Thanks Blörn for the nice comment.
After a very long time i come back to make more progress to the StuG.
The first what i learned in the mean time was: change all lead batteris to LiFePo4 batteries. So i did it.
After this i take on the very beautiful steel tracks from Liam. Only after this a tank look like a tank.
Thank you Liam for this fine steel tracks.

Thanks Robert,
after some times i decided to minimize the front weight of the upper parts of the StuG and son i mill them out.
Here you can see the result of the to much weight parts after optimizing.
The cannon get a new cover on the top, so you can't see the milling groove.
