Lord, give me strength to change the things I am able to change.... and patience to endure the things I can not change :-) A bunch of Tiger and Panther variants, a few 88`s and smaler ones like Hetzer, Stug III, etc. and soon a Leo II

Good luck that Armortek models are 1/6 scale! :twisted: In Hausen I saw a drawing showing the FAMO with the 'Sonderanhänger' carrying a King Tiger; all printed in 1/3 scale and completely more than 12 meters long! A consortium planned the shown models to be made in this scale, but the idea is on ice now. E.g. the King Tiger was planned to have about 1.000 kg and a motorbike engine of more than 100 hp! :shock:

I am curious what the production run will be in total, considering it was 30 people that got it started and I don't think thats all the Famos that will be made in the end.
