What should the next Armortek kit be?

[Steve Lewington]

Hi Gill
My first choice would have to be a Churchill due to the vast scope it offers with all the funnies that were produced or a Centurion as that was the first tank I served on.
But with the cost of there in mind with the currant financial climate I think I would like to see a Matilda,Comet Panzer 1 or 11 or one of german heavy prime movers.
That's my two pence worth.
Looking forward to seeing you all and hopefully more new faces again at next years open day.
Regards and best wishes to all.

The Comet would be great BUT a Pz 1 or 2 would be most welcome

Ps It was nice to see you Steve at the Amortek show.

The Pz I and Pz II are being suggested a lot. I have always have had a fondness for these two models in my 1/35 collection.

Presumably these would be very cost effective in both the production and retail price area in these tougher economic times that most of us are still experiencing.

Ideally I would like a complete set of Pz I, Pz II, Pz III and Pz IV. A very strong developmental trend in evidence here in German Tank design evolution.

Hi Mark and Gill

What about a Crusader.....Used in the desert, worked with Matildas and had a reputation as a reliable tank. Just a thought but for all the allied buffs
a nice "big wheel" option.

Hi Gill,

I personally favor WWII vehicles. A StuG III, Elefant, or Hetzer would suit me perfectly.

On a re-release, though, I would definitely purchase a Panzer IV or Panther (hint)

I think it's time for the T-34 to make it's appearance.

The T-34 was a magnificent design which revolutionised tank design in it's day and was the catalyst for the production of the German Panther, which I am sure ppl here would be aware of. It is also a bloody good looking beast.
I want one after the Pz I, II, III (done), IV and Panther.

Hi Gill,

So would I...

[Tim Bowman]

Sorry Dale. I had forgotten about the 38t. I'm not much for early war hardware but that would make a nice Marder MIII conversion. Nice small size too. That would be hard for me to resist.

Also, since rereleases were brought up, I could really use a Sherman for a Firefly conversion to go against the Panther.

I'll take the Stug III off my list as I am now set in that department.

[Holger Hoffmann]

Hi, Gill


My favor near the Tiger are the two Tanks Stug III Ausf G

and the big KV1 .


Regards Holger.

[Paul Fowler-Smith]

Could we have a Sherman or Comet, as i missed out on the first and was 10 years to late to serve in the second!

[clive Lockwood]

definatly the Panzer 38 t great looking tank.

[Mick Regan]

How about a Char B1 bis Interesting track design.

[Tim Bowman]

Okay. Here's an "outside the box", lower price-point idea for an Armortek, all new type of entry-level kit.

What if only the lower hull, running gear and tracks are offered for sale as a kit? Leaving the upper hull to the builder and giving the aftermarket masters an opportunity to contribute. The hull would obviously be something that was a platform for many variants, IE, the Panzer 38t, Panzer IV, or Sherman. Perhaps even motor and sound is included in the package price. This might be a nice product to fill the gap between static, skratch-builders and "all metal" RC builders.

The 38t is just one example of a hull and running gear that keeps on giving











Sorry if it's a crazy idea but it is completely new and different. Also, I think there is a huge gap in the market place that is just waiting to be filled.
