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.

Leopard 2 towing cable thimbles

Post by Chang »

Hi all Leo 2 builders. I have just found the 1:6 Leo 2 towing cable thimbles in one particular German site ;

https://www.stehr-modellbau.de/parts-16 ... 947-p-1490
(thanks for Adrian Harris quoted this site in thread "M3 castle nuts" on 06 Mar 2025 . viewtopic.php?p=104596#p104596)

They sell their products world-wide, unfortunately Australia (maybe UK too) wasn't included yet. So I have just sent an e-mail to query this.

If any Leo 2 builder is interested in this part , you may contact them.

Regards,
Lerh Chang

Haven't heard a word from Stehr-modellbau. I was wondering if any Leo 2 builder in their Country List is going to buy this set , could you please buy one extra set for me. I will happily reimburse you for the extra costs, plus the mailing cost for sending it to Australia.

If possible , please PM me for further discussion. Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,
Lerh Chang

Hi Andre, Thanks for your advice. Currently I have received reply from AlastairCooke & Patrick's help. But I will be more than happy to get your help too , cause this is a very hard to get part from Australia, and I wouldn't mind to receive more.

Thanks again and with best regards,
Lerh Chang

Unless I am mistaken, Stehr’s shipping list includes options for “rest of Europe” which presumably includes UK, and “all other countries” which should include Australia?

Good luck.

Hi Kevin,
I had tried ordered it on their website. The Country List is NOT include Australia. As for UK , I maybe wrong , but I don't want to try again.
You are right about "rest of Europe" & "all other countries" on their order form. Only when you click on it , there is NO Australia.

With regards,
Lerh Chang

With Alastair Cooke's warm help. I received this good aftermarket part today. Thanks again Alastair.

Of course it's not cheap. But sometimes a man has to do something like this. :mrgreen:

Cheers to all.
