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.

With this change, you will only stiffen the suspension of these axles, which are 6mm.this would be nice for the front and rear axles because they are the first and last to take the weight of the model.you can't damage anything with this change this will be unnecessary if there is a hydraulic compensator in the suspension, but for these models it is unthinkable
Тhe other good thing about 6mm is that you will stop rocking on rough terrain and these models mostly move on such

Changing torsion bar diameter will not damage anything but will require opening up of holes.

I suggest that you do not bother with changing torsion bars unless you are adding a lot of weight to the model. Our model has the torsion bars supplied with the kit and the off road performance is as we would like. With the stock suspension setup, stopping the tank also causes the front to tip down - as the real thing does. Stiffening up the suspension will change these characteristics.
