Hi.
Picture of the progress of my ARV.Still lots to do.
David
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.

Re: Centurion ARV
Magnificent, David, another brave feat of model engineering.
Good to see you've got the Fitters' hotel on the back, aside from the bridgelayer, the worst thing in the battle gruop to camouflage in a wet wood at night. You'll have to include some "slabs" of Tennants in the back - the fee extorted by the Recy (recovery) Mechs for recovering bogged tanks. I recall one of ours also had an engineer's workbench on the front and oxy-acetylene tanks and welding gear which was also used for cutting the tracks on a bogged tank. (Yes, the manual provided instructions for blowing them off with PE but in peacetime, we weren't trusted with explosives).
Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh one day.
Thanks for sharing the pics.

Re: Centurion ARV
Very nice job.
Stephen, the Cent ARV Mk2 carried a set of Oxy-Acetylene bottles as standard equipment, housed in the light sheet steel locker on the front right corner of the upper superstructure. They slid in at an angle.
