The lower hull is almost complete.

I love the Tiger 1 so am a bit biased.

Don't want to jinx Armortek but with the prototype they are building showing No. 60 it means that this latest version is also in demand. For some reason the Tiger 1 is always the best seller for Armortek. Keep it up and continue improving it.

I saw that too Vince, that’s a real tribute not only to the popularity and enduring interest in the Tiger 1 as a historically significant symbol in armored warfare, but when you combine it with Armortek’s skill and engineering prowess in producing complex scale modeling kits it’s no wonder there’s such strong demand.

Just a short update for now - Tiger 1 shipping is expected to start in the next 10 days. Photographs will follow in due course.

Good timing!

I have my work spot storage area cleared and ready. The timing is good since I am 98.3% done with the King Tiger which is currently on the workbench for camo pattern line drawing (Sand/yellow base complete).
