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.

new toy for tank building
I picked up a mini lathe off of amazon and while its no southbend it really comes in handy for this type of hobby.

Re: new toy for tank building
That's a neat looking lathe - yellow and green, so I guess that means it's a Proxxon ?
I've just bought a threading dial for my lathe as I need an M14 thread cut in some aluminium bar stock - not something you can buy off the shelf. Never cut a thread on a lathe before but hopefully it will be fun to try and pick up another skill

Re: new toy for tank building
Thats a fine looking little lathe and should serve you well. I just checked Amazon and these baby's are over $1100. Thats ok they are made in Japan and will be much more accurate and reliable than the import copies. Enjoy it! Make some cool tank parts,
Best regards,
Bob
