For the next model it can only be one thing and I think this would sell extremely well world wide, I vote for a Russian T72 and Ukrainian tractor complete with working tow ropes.

Excellent!

Tractors? is this "Farming Today"? Or ARMORTEK TANKs

(Err. Ok I do have a C8. but it does have a big 25 pounder with it...... and it's green).

Not so sure about the scary T72, It has been weighed, it has been measured and it has certainly been found wanting, (usually a new turret).

Jeeze how could I forget the M18 Hellcat and M10 Wolverine tank destroyers! The M18 was pretty effective in it's day...
and pretty speedy. I doubt the M36 Jackson would be considered different enough to qualify but that one one I believe
was the US's most effect TD and soldiered on for quite a while after WWII....

Yes, M10 would be good….not as good as the M4A1….but that’s never going to happen here. It’s an easy flat plate affair, that they should like.

Hey, how about they do a radical Accurate Armour project, like a 1/6 scale Type VIIC Conning Tower? Just a joke, but if done…..I bet it would be very popular!

OK so the next new Armortek model will be a Chaffee or Pershing, the next question is what will be re-released this year ?
My choices would be Panther, Centurion, sdkfz 7 or Famo.
When will we know ?

Early Panther is their best bet.

I've been having the same thought process Steve!

So I've been mulling this over about what kit might be the re release this year. With the newsletter mentioning the kit will be a turreted tank and maybe a re release, these seem to be the options to my mind, based on turreted tanks, that haven't been re-released recently:

Centurion
T34
Comet
Panther
Panzer IV

if it has to be something American, how about an M10. that way you can please both side of the pond and I can do a British M10 IIC Achilles

Was there ever a survey this time, or has the decree already been decided by Armortek? I recently received an email (yesterday) asking that if they made a Pershing or Chafee….would I purchase? So, my question is; Is the decision regarding the next model an either/or….and not a what?

Jack

The question was pretty obvious:

Which kit would you like us to produce for Winter 2022?*

1) M24 Chaffee
2) M26 Pershing
3) Neither tank

But there is a comments section, so maybe use that to suggest something to be included in the next shortlist ?

Adrian.

OK, I see that thanks. I just wondered if there was an additional Survey that I may have missed. I’ll still keep my hopes up for my M4A1…….in the near future.

Panther G early! Get innnnnnnnn! I'm going to be skint by the end of this year!

Cheers,

Alex

Any chance of buying the Panther turretless so I can build a Bergepanther?

Any chance of purchasing the metal dished wheels separate to upgrade our already purchased Panthers?

Ahhhh I need a larger house....either that or I'll stay outside and my models can live inside...

Pershing. Panther G....

Steel wheels....

I have to pinch myself...

I wonder how far I can stretch a can of tuna?

Armortek, I hate you!
