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.

Does the fan work when the module lights up ?

Can you feel the smoke case warming up after it has been on a while ?

The elements do have a fixed lifespan, so it may just have expired naturally.

If the thing stays cold, then I'm sure Gill will be happy to sell you a new element for it :D

Hi Adrian, today I stripped down the smoker unit to find that the 'matting' was like a piece of crispy bacon, so I ordered a new piece.Also a new element, plus an element tube
and holder. No wonder it was not working! :oops:

Hi Adrian, what smoke oil do you use? I have been using baby oil until recently When I tried Seuthe smoke oil which is much thinner than the baby oil. Maybe the Seuthe is burning up to quickly. Your thoughts please.

You might want to try Venu Smoke Fluid. It's intended for stage fog units but is ideal for tank smoke units and is quite inexpensive. It doesn't leave any oily residue but gives a decent volume of smoke. I've used the medium and thick versions.
