Hi all
What was the function of these 4 steel bars
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.
Anyone know the function of these

Re: Anyone know the function of these
That's the photo i was looking for Adrian, not many modellers fit them because they look a bit naff in our scale, a bit untidy
But you can prove me wrong
