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.

Churchill vs a Smart car

Post by Armortek »

The Churchill Mk III is progressing well - production of the hulls are all but complete at this stage.

The photos below show the scale compared to a Smart car.

Nice Churchill, is that a one sixth scale car or a car for one sixth scale people?

I don't believe that the Smart Car will be very practical to transport the Churchill unless you can tow a small trailer with it... :D
Also perhaps the Churchill could tow the Smart car should a breakdown occur...

Well I'd hate to be his people passenger... just goes to show where there's a will there's a way!

The real last laugh is at the fueling pump, my cars turn their noses up at nothing but the best grades...
