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 Roy and Taylor.

Wow thanks very much for your hard work on the bridge what a surprise and it looks really good very strong and bigger than the last one by the looks of it :D . I will get us some blocks from work to sit it on properly and bring a shovel etc next meet.

> Liz was home as the flag was flying

But was it the Royal Standard ?

There were red faces when Di died because Liz wasn't at home, so there wasn't a flag flying, so they couldn't fly it at half-mast.

Ever since then, there's always a flag flying over the castle but it's only the Royal Standard when she's actually at home.

I don't know what they fly when she's not, the Union flag I suppose.

Adrian.

Hi Adrian,
I only got a quick look at the flag as I was driving at the time, Poor form I know but from two miles it could have been anything and I wouldnt be able to tell you it was a flag from a bed sheet.
Regards Roy

Hi Roy & Taylor,

Unfortunately I won't be there next weekend as I'll be dining/drinking under the Tuscan sky for a week 8) You're really doing a fantasic job and now some pillboxes too :D Don't forget to take some photo's as I'll still be online. When I get back I'll start making some more buildings myself and I'll get that bunker painted. I can see us needing a bigger shed in the near future. See you and Taylor on the 20th,

Thanks Ant
