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.

Re: Somerset Festival of Transport
Whereabouts is the pitch ? And are people going to be there tomorrow (when I’m intending to show up, despite the weather forecast) ?

Re: Somerset Festival of Transport
I am intending on coming, today, as is Adrian, fingers crossed the weather will hold off until later today. I am sure we will find the pitch.

Re: Somerset Festival of Transport
Good morning
Some more photos from Frome Showground on the Sunday. Luckily the rain held off but you can see it was a close thing. The early desert tigers were in their element with some scale sandstorms blowing down the track in the afternoon as it got very windy.
I only managed to attend on the Sunday with my Tiger and Pershing and it was enjoyable with great company. Thanks to those there as I got some useful tips.
Regards
Gary

Re: Somerset Festival of Transport
Sounds like it was a quiet day on Saturday but, despite the gloomy weather forecast, there was a much bigger attendance on Sunday. I made it 8 of us, with 15 tanks (although Adrian was so busy fixing other people's stuff that he never unloaded his Sherman fleet 
)
A couple more photos:
The overnight rain had left lots of muddy puddles to play in, some of them pretty deep. It's quite impressive the bow wave that a Panther can produce
Thanks, as usual, to Denny and Adrian for the organisation.
All the best,
Chris

Re: Somerset Festival of Transport
Great turnout despite the forecast, sorry I had to leave a bit early but wasn't feeling great. Was a great day meeting new people and talking tanks. A massive thank you to Adrian for sorting my Churchill, it will now turn on grass and mud!!!
