I've just uploaded a new, illustrated Knowledge Base Topic on Priming and Painting in response to a recent question on the Forum. It's intended to be a guide to best practice for an Out of the Box build.
http://www.armortek.co.uk/Forum3b/viewt ... 297#p49297
This is a subject where the community has huge experience and it would be really helpful to have any comments and suggestions, so that it truly reflects best practice amongst Armortek customers.
There are still a quite a few topics which need writing or updating.
Thanks

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: Knowledge Base Topic - Priming and Painting - How to protect and enhance your model BASIC
Hi everyone,
The U-POL Acid #8 etch primer seems to be widely used here, does anyone have a recommendation for a specific brand of red oxide primer that combines well with the U-POL Acid#8?
(And should the red oxide primer be of an etch type as well?
)
Curious what you guys are using for it and what is recommendable.
Thanks a lot!
