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.

Hi All,

A little more work on the crew figures. Also started work on the improvised glacis stowage retainer seen on a number of post D-Day carriers.

Best regards

Dave

Hi All,

Vehicle Commander clothing now tacked and glued where necessary. 'orrible Tan tank suit painted to look like a denim one and brass rounds and cleaning rod etc. added to shortened tank holster. Couple of buttons added to the pockets and open neck of the BD. I have found the pose I will be using and he will be weathered later with everything else. Just the patches and shoulder flashes to fit which are on the way.

Best regards

Dave

Hi All,

Finally got round to clearing my photo area. It got very cluttered over the last year. The Carrier is now ready for final weathering so took a set of clean pics first.

Best regards

Dave
