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.

Note the Tigers tracks! They are piano wire tight, the Tiger has been sitting out side for nearly five years, I'm hoping that when it's been towed around for a bit that they will loosen up a little.
The tracks are not armortek and don't fit all that well but after shaving the middle row of double wheels on the lathe they run ok.

They will soon be in the mud! It's amazing how much room the two vehicles take up, just paced it out at eight and a half feet.
Did some driver training last night and it's surprisingly easy to place the towed vehicle just where it's wanted, reversing is also a pleasure.
As the drive train is still tight and dry the Tiger is currently producing a lovely squeak and clanking sound just like full size armour ( the video of the Tiger 2 in France is an excellent example ) I just hope it's still there when it's time for filming! Regards Phil
