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.

Machine Gun servo and linkage

Post by Ray Massa »

I am attempting to install the machine gun option pack, and just wondering how others have attached the wire linkage. The wire with the 90 degree bend as supplied in the kit, does not reach the servo arm nor does it align with it (the servo arm does not extend out enough in length). It would require two bends to reach it laterally and vertically. Is that what is supposed to happen? Maybe I am just missing something here.
Thanks.

Looks like the picture in the manual might be wrong and the servo fits through the hole rather being mounted behind it.

Adrian,

I just needed to reverse the servo mount position. Sometimes I just miss the obvious. But I originally wanted the servo wire to feed from the bottom, so that is why I mounted it the way I did.
