Armortek

My personal wish list: I would like Armortek to produce the US M3 Grant/Lee tank (as in the movie Sahara). It has been on my wish list as #1 with Armortek for years. Otherwise, make another batch of the Sherman Firefly tanks . Other wants: German Sdkfz-9 halftrack, US M26 Pershing tank, US M41 Walker Bulldog tank. How about a US towed artillery gun, such as the 155mm long range M1 howitzer? But in the end we all know that the German stuff will likely prevail. Can't please us all I suppose.

> Commercially, I think a Universal Carrier would sell well

How about the Carrier as the next Kompact Kit

It's probably about the right size and complexity. If it was priced around the £500 mark, it would be cheap enough as a modelling project or diorama dressing, and may get people into the idea of owning a 'vehicle' rather than just an artillery piece.

With a bit of design work I'm sure Mark could build in a few 'features' to make it suitable to RC conversion, even if it's still sold on the same premise as the current Kompact Kits - ie an out of the box build with no add on extras.

If a few enthusiasts do decide to motorise it, like the Dragon kits, then it's nothing to do with Armortek

I will be busy with my mid production tiger for some time, but if I could have another Armortek product it would be a late Sherman or a Mark IV.

How not to share? Great nice list.
Also, I would add a third front with a nice KV-1 or a nice big head KV-2: something awesome and unusual!
The ideas are so many ....

Panzer II for me please☺

puma or panzer II

Hi Chris, Chieftain, I certainly hope not! Who's going to want to buy the greatest looking, most iconic tank since Tiger 1. The best armed and armoured tank of it's generation and when it broke down in a good firing position the most dangerous tank of it's time.
It's a smoke generators dream, with plums of exhaust obscuring it's shape most of the time, giving the enemy plenty of time to run and hide. And just in case the enemies are blind. The exhaust sounds like a Yeti on forty fags a day could be heard for miles.




A Wheeled vehicle would be nice, a DUKW or the Quad.

Whatever comes next, I'm sure it will be an engineering and commercial success.

Hi fellas.

Just my thoughts you understand but these steam rollering tactics for a Cheiftain have now I think surpassed anything that was done for what is now referred to as the swear word?

Yes you can say that again!


The biggest surprise to me is that we haven't heard the.............. wait for it

DUKW...Still think there's a buoyant market for an amphibian if you get my drift, but I'm sure someone will put the anchors on that.

Hi,
We already know what the next model is but after that I would like a crusader .

JAGDTIGER ??or something American, M48 ??

Instead of American, how about Canadian, a Kangaroo?
