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: Can you tell what it is yet.
Curiosity is getting the better of me. Knowing little of the Bergepanther and that kit- who made the winch for it?

> who made the winch for it?
Armortek. It's based around one of the older style main drive motors, but with a higher ratio gearbox for more grunt.

Re: Can you tell what it is yet.
Hello Jerry,
Yes there is not much info/builds on the Bergpanther, With around only 20 produced so nearly as rare as the Sturmtiger,
As Adrian said this is an armortek produced winch kit, It weighs a ton! and took me best part of a day to put together, Because of the storage compartment above the winch most builds are hiding the winch underneath, So think i will have the winch exposed just to show it off,
Kind regards, Chris.

Awesome, one of my favorite Panther version. Will be fun to follow this. The winch is amazing. Is this your kit Chris? Or perhaps Wheatcroft?
Best regards,
Bob

Hello Robert and William,
Robert, Another one of the Wheatcroft collection's kits, I will post more build pictures as it progress hopefully!!, (i haven't got the hull yet).

Re: Can you tell what it is yet.
Hint, Hint you Armortek elves out there....Bergepanther....winch.... next kit please... I wouldn't mind a G version bergepanther
I've been fascinated by the heavy duty winches. I have made a winch, actually 3 of them, for smaller scale projects. They are powerful enough
to pull an enormous weight or destroy themselves in the process so I've always seen the need to use them wisely...
