Hello Armortek Team,

I would be interested in a King Tiger, as my Tiger I still needs its big brother. My budget is a bit tight. What can I do?
What can I do? If I can agree to pay in installments, then my question would be how low the installment can be?

Kind regards
Michael Beber

Hallo Armortek Team.

ich würde mich für einen King Tiger interessieren, da mein Tiger I noch den großen Bruder braucht. Mein Budget ist etwas eingeengt. Was kann man tun?
Wenn mann eine Ratenzahlung vereinbaren kann, dann wäre meine Frage, wie niedrieg die Rate sein kann ?
Bitte teilen sie mir mit was wir tun können.

Mit freundliche Grüße
Michael Beber

Yes, we will be getting updates out over the next few weeks as we recover from the Sd KFZ 7 packing and start ramping up on the next kit.

I am not able to start a Challenger 2 thread ? The option is not there.
I will be very interested to see how fast it sells. I doubt it will sell as fast as the Chieftain ( which I signed up for immediately when it was announced and production would only be started if enough pre-orders were there ) and I will not be buying one.
Challenger 2 technically is a fantastic tank, far in advance of Challenger 1 with its gunnery capabilities. I was responsible for maintaining and fixing Chietain, CR1 and CR2 over 22 years. finishing my time in the army in early 2007, predominantly having worked on CR1.
For a CR1, I would have placed a pre-order, taking out a bank loan if necessary but not for a CR2. For me a nice to have but not a must have.
