OK - I see which way this is going. I thought Armortek = armour = tank = something with tracks and a big gun: so that means a Centurion.

But I have to admit reluctantly that the monstosity below has tracks and a b***** big gun:

I gather 14 were constructed by Weserhutte company, of Bad Oeynhausen to be delivered in June & July 1943.All 14 were given to the 26th Pz. Div.

In July 1943, the 26th was sent to Italy to to help stem the tide of the allied invasion of Sicily.

Enjoy.

Regards.

> if the price isnt as high as comet money, I could be tempted too..

The Sd.Kfz 7 was released at the same price as the Sherman, so a FAMO would probably be the same price as a KT

How about a re-run of the Sd.kfz 7 and everyone just stands a little bit further away

The ultimate Famo would have to be the version with the 88 mm on the back

How easy would that be

considering plans already exist for the 88 mm

Hey Leon,
That's another good reason for owning a FAMO---together with a 88mm gun.
Whoever wants the vehicle, will consider the gun too.
