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.

Long time no see Glenn.

Nice update. For my tow ropes I used a brush and painted them with a pre-mixed model paint dark wash

Hi Brian/Phil,is leaving the ropes in vinegar overnight long enough.If I leave them in there for 3 weeks for example would that disolve them.😁

Hi Glen
I found soaking them overnight was long enough to remove the brightness and give them a more realistic appearance?
