Great day out today, nice to meet everyone and run the Hetzer around after it's rebuild. I did, thanks to my own overconfidence, join the 'tank flippers' club but the damage was minor and quickly repaired.

Final irony though, as I was putting the Hetzer to bed I took the ramp into my shed a little off and one of the damn locking bushes let go again....dammit.

It really was a great day out ! Thanks to all the Armortek team for the welcome, and especially the ladies for the refreshments 👏👏.
I await the photos of me talking all the time to different people with some trepidation - my throat is still a bit sore ! 🤣🤣

Best wishes, all,

Enjoyed the day. Picked up some good advice and ideas. Thanks to Adrian and Kian for sorting out my transmitter. Only a few touches of paint and my Stug III will be ready for Militracks next month.

Many thanks to everyone who who came along to the Factory Open Day 2024 on Saturday - we had over 110 attendees with lots of fantastic models.
It was great to catch up with everyone and share stories/ challenges and gossip!

At the end of the event we had a group photo - unfortunately many attendees had already left. Next time, weather allowing, we will go for a mid day group photo.

(Sven - the professional - has much better photographs, but here are some to give you a flavour)
