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.

Next model.

Chang, as I said before, Mark has to have an example in UK to measure. There is, to my best knowledge, no F thing in UK, so no original for Mark to measure. That is a serious impediment.

Best regards.

If it 'has' to be in the U.K. I guess an Elefant is on the cards? Not sure why it has to be in the UK though, many cheap flights covering Europe just up the road in Bristol. And if I were a betting man I'd lay odds a Famo would out sell a Chieftan 5:1.

Hi Stephen and Simon,

Kevin Weatcroft has an "F".

His Panther Ausf A has been the raw model for the now in-coming Panther so there is a connection already established.

Kind regards
Kent
It´s all in the details!

F thing and F word were errors when I originally wrote the post. It should have read Famo9 18 ton Half track but for some stupid reason my computer changed it.

The forum doesn't allow to write the word -FAMO without any other sign besides it; that's all....... :roll:


And well, a 1/4 scale model can weigh 500 kg or more, but also a 1/6 scale model cannot been carried by one person. And also a 1/4 scale King Tiger can bee carried by a rather small car, if the gun barrel is separable and the driver is passible...... :twisted:

Nice 1/4 scale KT but what worries me is how do you get it out of the estate? ramps would be substantial even if loaded on the roof. Van or trailer needed I think.
It's difficult with 1/6 as it is and it usually tries to kick the %%%% out of your nice estate even at 150kg.
As for the next 1/6 model, I like the T54/55 idea, but would buy a boat cum/tank so I could take it to model boat meets. Or take a leaf for uncle A's book, Think big.
