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.

Hello Florian,

First i dit spray the tracklinks with Tamiya gun metal nr TS- 38 ( before assemble )
than i use 3 collors from Humbrol acryl rost matt nr 83 braun matt nr 85 karminrot nr 36 ( use it like dry brushing ) and if you use to much clean it with water or thinner.
Than spray it with clear varnish to seal the collors.
Next step i use a sludge of water , a little bit of Dreft ( dish soap ) and black water paint ( gouache )
Also here if you use to much sludge you can clean it with water and a paper towl.
The last step is to spray it with Humbrol acryl matt varnish nr 49


This technic i also use on my tanks, this i learned from Luc Deweirdt ( tiger 1 Erika ) this technic was also used by Duncans tiger 1 on the older furum.

Best regards Yves

Well done Yves,

where did you got the 3 lifting hooks for the rear deck?
Or did you build by yourself?

Hello Florian,

The 2 hooks on the side of the rear deck are from Armortek part nr CHO 617 ( panther / KT deck )
The one on the back of the rear deck in the middle i made myself.
