We need to keep pushing the Famo kit guys or it just won't happen. Any nice photos would be welcome

More of war time photos and one 1/16 scale model with crews for size comparison:

These are basic version only. Other versions are even bigger.

We need to get our friends in Europe interested in this Famo 18 ton monster, I will make a few of my customers aware by pm and if all you guy's could do the same with your buddies around the World we might just get there!

I think I may order 2 vehicles , one for me and the other as an investment.(so do I count as 2 customers?)
As far as I am aware no other manufacturer has ever produced a 1/6th Famo and as Armortek have a ground breaking reputation I am confident they can see the potential, the handful of customers already showing an interest just the tip of a huge ice berg! Regards Phil.

Just been informed that we have at least 2 guys from I believe Germany that are very interested in the Famo, I'm sure there will be others

More info as I get it. I want commission

regards Phil.

Found a line drawing for size comparison of 3 very large German WW2 half tracks Sd Kfz 7, 8, and 9:

For whoever thought the 8 tonnes Sd Kfz 7 is large, prepare to meet the 18 tonnes Sd Kfz 9.
Have fun!

Yes, I want the Sdkfz9 halftrack, for sure!

jseverett · Post by **jseverett** » Mon Oct 30, 2017 5:24 pm

How about also offering the 88 flak gun direct mount also for Sdkfz9 halftrack as an custom add-on? That would be AWESOME! I want this!

Monique, I don't think you will have any problem selling 30 units of the Sdkfz9 halftrack.

I agree, there should be definitely no problem for 30 units, I would take one for sure

best regards

As I have only a Panzer3 used as armoured vehicle for artillery observers, also known as Pz.Beob.Wg.111. This was a former medium (start of the war) tank it only needed one Famo to recover it.

Thus please put me down for one Famo, jumping from a smallish kit to very big. Will it have the proportionate power as well to do the job of recovering a panzer from soft / boggy ground?

I would take one for sure

JEAN MARC BELLETETE · Mon Oct 30, 2017 11:52 pm
