Sorry guys,
another question. I have painted the barrel but now it won’t fit into delrim bushes due to the paint. What do I do
sink the delrim bush into the mantlet so the barrel can recoil.
Or leave an aluminum gap on the barrel to let it recoil without the painted barrel entering the mantlet.
Not sure what to do. Thanks Martin.
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: Recoil unit
As you can see from the photo the travel total C goes into the mantlet from A to B which means if I paint up to B it won’t go into the mantlet and if I do get some very thin paint on the barrel eventually it will rub the paint away.
If I bury the bush deeper into the mantlet there will be a paint gap but that means burying the bush 7.5cm into the mantlet.
Your thoughts would be helpful.
Thanks Martin.
