Re: Armorteks next model
Ouu, what did I do?
I only mentioned to make a joke about a strange vehicle (shown in 1/4 scale) for Armorteks next model. I never thought to start a new race for a real new tank.
Just a hint: quarter scale is an overwhelming size, indeed. But there are some difficulties in managing such a model being more than 3 meters long and weighing more than 400 kgs!

Renault FT17 - small, with a wealth of history from 1918 to 1944.
JagdPanther - using many of the parts from the new Panther G, so should be straightforward to design.
WW1 Medium A Whippet - well, I had to !
With little hope,
Chris

Re: Armorteks next model
Ok how about 1/5 scale that’s a compromise.

Re: Armorteks next model
I don’t believe that Armortek will, or indeed should, move away from the 1/6 market, which is one of their USP’s.

Hi Phil,
That would be awesome a panther in 1/4 scale, but a lot of more money to spent
best regards Yves

Re: Armorteks next model
How about bringing back a few of the Kompact kits?
The Bailey Bridge in particular?
Adding a new Kompact kit?
M16 half track?
Any chance of a LRDG Chevrolet truck?
And lastly perhaps a Panzer II with the 'stretched' chassis that had an extra road wheel to better accommodate a
15cm SiG 33. The Pz II 'Bison'. 12 were made and used in North Africa...

But I'd still rather have a Semovente of any sort.

Re: Armorteks next model
Sd.kfz. 10 Demag D7 (see my post on side 35 on this threat)

Panzerkampfwagen II Ausf. L "Luchs" Sd.Kfz. 123

8,8er Flak

I know this is all German stuff again and I'm sorry for that 🫣, but I really like these things and think they're totally great
.
Above all, it's great that they're so small, you can just pack them in the boot for a quick trip and that's it! Yup!🫡
Other cool little vehicles i like are this...
Renault UE Tankette

And the Humber 4x4.
I saw one live in france on normandie 2017 and the owner told me, he drives from england till france
with such a truck and his wife.
He was fine guy, we had a good conversation.

P.S. i take some of the pictures from the Internet, if there is a problem, contact me and i will delete them.

Re: Armorteks next model
Sd.Kfz.10…..that would be a GREAT idea. Love it’s looks, so many different things to use it for, maybe Kompact Kits could also do a Flak38 with Trailer to tow! I’m in, for maybe two….and I haven’t purchased a kit in a looooong time too!
