Re: Next Armortek model to be announced
There's a certainly fine stable to choose from, something big or something small, my guess would be something from the UK, but I'm bias.
Three German firm favorites recently supplied, the odds are in my favor.
But I do like a surprise.

Re: Next Armortek model to be announced
It could be something from the North African campaign; loads of good candidates there...
Could be a halftrack with a mounted gun; a T19 comes to mind or Sd.Kfz. 251/22
Or fully tracked like an M40...now there's a gun...
Whatever it is I have no doubt it will be first class...

So, unless 'gun' includes 'machine gun' it won't be a Whippet then

Re: Next Armortek model to be announced
I think the Armortek team should release some minor clues over the next few days so we can have more fun guessing. How about nationality? Or gun size? Or whatever?
A nice bit of fun for a cold wet month.
And unfortunately I'll not be purchasing what ever it turns out to be - Just bought the Tiger 1 early ( Kit 42 ).....
All the best and looking forward to seeing the new model.
Chris.

Somehow I think it will not be a UK Tank, Infantry, MkIII or they would be announcing it 5 days earlier

Not another German vehicle
Something North American like Chaffee would be nice, though a Centurion I would be all over
I need a new kit to build

Re: Next Armortek model to be announced

It’s down to a French Char B1 or Hungarian M43 Zrínyi…

Re: Next Armortek model to be announced
Since you asked for a clue .......
Its not a half track and its not from WW1.
We will do a re-run of a half track in the next 18 months - we will run a poll to see which one you would like.

Hi Armortek,
I'm very excited about the half-track vehicle. Like to know which one it will be. There will definitely be some great vehicles to choose from.
Cheers
Florian

Re: Next Armortek model to be announced
My guess (hope) is the US M1 Abrams. This would be an engineering marvel worth the effort (I'll take 4 please).
Let me know when I need to make the deposit.
