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.

Tiger Lift
Quick question, what are folk using to sit their Tiger on during the build? I'm struggling moving my tank on and off my Black and Decker work mate.

Re: Tiger Lift
Hi Brian
I use a 200kg scissor lift trolley, easy to move about and you can raise and lower it depending which part of the Tiger you are working on.
If you also use a motorcycle lift on top of the trolley you will be able to raise the tracks off the lift table when testing the drive/tracks and be able to rotate the tank to get easy access to both sides.
You can get more info from the knowledge base link below.

Re: Tiger Lift
I use a lifting carriage to transport the tanks between storage area (old tables), the working desk and the ramp to drive it out through the basement window.
At first I used a self made crane and a small and long ramp, but this was rather inconvenient and some dangerous.
