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.

Dimensions of the 88 recuperator?

Post by Søren Sandvold »

Do any if you have info on the dimensions of the two recuperator sylinders on the 88 Kwk 36 Tiger 1 gun?
Looking for lenght and diameter.
The recuperator are the two cylinders that dampened the recoil and return the gun to battery.

Info is needed as im planning (trying) to build a semiscale functional recoil system 😉
