Rick suprised me turning up with his Jagdpanther nearly finnished in four weeks . It was a real show stopper as we could show the public the three stages of construction from Ricks new kit to my finished tiger .

Awesome Dale

Wow! Great showing of Armortek vehicles and the stages of building. Nice work on the Jagdpanther Rick. It's coming along nicely. You guys need some more American armor down there to balance out the battlefield. :P

On second thought, better make it a few Fireflys to be fair and all.

Kind regards

Tim

Dale,
The show looks like a hit. I second the JP is looking awesome. Dale your Sherm and Tiger are fantastic. I wish my Shermy was as far along as yours.

Its amazing how big these things are compared to other scales!

Thanks for sharing your pix.

Hello Bob . I was suprised at how big the Jagdpanther was compeared to my Tiger . Plus the other thing I liked about it was how soft the suspension was and how well the Jagdpanther rolled along , it nearly rolled of the table a couple of times. The best thing was the single torsion bar supports That's good engineering . The sherman was a big crowd puller.

Nice show Dale!

Yes, the Jagdpanther look big and so they were (and goodlooking as well...)
Thanks for posting the photos.
Hope we in Sweden can do something similar someday as that would boost the hobby here.
Are the two T34 in 1:8th?

Cheers
Kent

Dale,

Certainly an excellent show of Armortek models, the Tiger looked great in its finished paint work and having the other two models in various stages of completion was also a bonus. I am with you on the progress made by in the Armortek kits especially the suspension and wheel bearings on the Panther compared to the first generation Tiger kits.
