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.

Thanks Daniel. I love that picture of my panther - Even though it has been photoshopped!

Has anyone else spotted the problem with the photo of my Panther?

Cheers

Hi,

The front wheel hub cap looks like it's been added

Well spotted David.
In fact the hub cap on the drive sprocket has been photoshopped as has the cap on the first road wheel.
The sprocket hubcap is not correct, although Daniel would not have one to add digitally.
I left both of them off after the repairs.

In my defense I told Tim I would Photoshop in some hubs when I took the pic, here is the original:-
