The Official Armortek Forum - World leader in one sixth scale metal kits

Hi John
Good to hear from you.
I have the Tamiya kit from days gone by plus a resin kit from Mr models in Germany a fantastic add on to convert the 251/1 to a 251/8 plus 250 photos i took at the tank museum on the last open day and the book is panzer tracks 15/2.
All the above are my first go to for information.
All the rest are for help information and anything else I cant find.
The model kit from CM is quite good for reference also.
Also lots of reference pitches on Pinterest and I must mention Lee Archer from panzerwreacks for all the info he had on the 251/8.
Have a great holiday

Keek safe

Great collection of books there. Looking forward to seeing your 251 in person some time.

Thanks John

I'm sure we can make that happen I am hoping to have it finished for the next open day.

Good evening guys

Well it's been a little while since my last update on the 251 after building the Bailey bridge.
To start with my RC went down after reading lots of the forum on electronics scratching my head and the odd nip of whisky or ten I still could work it out.
So true to form Armortek came to the rescue and kian is going to have a look at it for me.
That's what you call outstanding customer service thank you kian.
So in the meantime the little fella and myself have been making some of the bits and pieces to fit the inside and hang the stretchers on.
The basic parts have been made and the final parts will be finished off on assembly.

Good evening guys.
Well its been a little while since my last update tiny and I haven't had a lot of time to get into the workshop so we have been doing a little bit here and there as we could.
Mostly we have been working on the seats.
We did 3D print them but decided not to use them and made them out of brass and copper instead.
A lot of the soldering work was done by tiny after being taught how to do it.
He done not a bad job for a 10 year old.
Next we will move onto the American beauty to see how he gets on with it.
There is just a little bit more work to do on seats to finish them off.
Muttley and Tiny
