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.

Hi André,
yes I used 180er sanding paper. The contour is printed to a self-adhesive paper to back side of the sanding pager. Then the step pads are cutted out and the self-adhesive paper is removed before gluing the pads to the model.
Thank you very much Günter! I am worried that my cutting will not be as precise as yours or if using a plotter ... let's see! :D

Best regards, André

Not sure how to interpret this. I just hope it's a joke. Most of us here are nowhere close to Günther's league, but have great fun with our models anyway. :D
It was meant as a joke, Gunther's build is another league as you say, i am the best builder in my Cul-de-sac..... the only builder in the Cul-de-sac.
another joke.
Martin.
