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.

Re: Panther #20
After tackling the recoil I wanted to add main gun smoke. A special thanks to Paul Sparkes who inspired me to try doing it myself, and who was always ready to answer my questions, regardless of the time difference, lol.
I decided to replace the sound with a Beier USM-RC-3 which Paul recommended. The Beier USM-RC-3 is really great to work with, you can add any sound you can think of and has so many options for controlling sound, light and in this case the recoil. I finally got the timings of the smoke, light, recoil and sound of the main gun worked out.
If you listen close, that tank commander sounds a lot like the late great Donald Sutherland, aka Oddball.

Re: Panther #20
Yes, great, like the sound etc, good job....
Also like Kelly's Heroes..... A while back a friend and I were going to watch it but the wives were not keen..... We convinced them by saying that it was really just Oceans 11 with tanks.....

Re: Panther #20
Thank you for the kind words. It is very rewarding to envision an Idea like the recoil and smoke, and with the help of folks on this forum, build it and see it working.
