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

My wish:


1. King Tiger
2. sd kfz 234/2 Puma
3. Flak 88

fingers crossed....

Ouu, what did I do?

I only mentioned to make a joke about a strange vehicle (shown in 1/4 scale) for Armorteks next model. I never thought to start a new race for a real new tank.

Just a hint: quarter scale is an overwhelming size, indeed. But there are some difficulties in managing such a model being more than 3 meters long and weighing more than 400 kgs!

Renault FT17 - small, with a wealth of history from 1918 to 1944.

JagdPanther - using many of the parts from the new Panther G, so should be straightforward to design.

WW1 Medium A Whippet - well, I had to !

With little hope,

Chris

M113 Armored Personal Carrier!!! Used from 1960-up!! Many different configurations used by MANY countries today!!

M3 Stuart (M-THREE not five). Small, FAST, & FUN!!

Ok how about 1/5 scale that’s a compromise.

I don’t believe that Armortek will, or indeed should, move away from the 1/6 market, which is one of their USP’s.

I would like to see a centre piece model in 1/6 scale like one of the below.

Hi Phil,

That would be awesome a panther in 1/4 scale, but a lot of more money to spent

best regards Yves

Just found that bucket hung on the big 1/4 Panther, is more like 1/6 ....

Ahh but how big was the prototype bucket that the model is based on haha

How about bringing back a few of the Kompact kits?
The Bailey Bridge in particular?
Adding a new Kompact kit?

M16 half track?

Any chance of a LRDG Chevrolet truck?

And lastly perhaps a Panzer II with the 'stretched' chassis that had an extra road wheel to better accommodate a
15cm SiG 33. The Pz II 'Bison'. 12 were made and used in North Africa...

But I'd still rather have a Semovente of any sort.

Yes, new Kompact Kit:
1) Flakvierling with trailer
2) Single Flak38 with its same as above trailer
3) New and better 88mm

Sd.kfz. 10 Demag D7 (see my post on side 35 on this threat)




Panzerkampfwagen II Ausf. L "Luchs" Sd.Kfz. 123




8,8er Flak




I know this is all German stuff again and I'm sorry for that 🫣, but I really like these things and think they're totally great.
Above all, it's great that they're so small, you can just pack them in the boot for a quick trip and that's it! Yup!🫡

Other cool little vehicles i like are this...

Renault UE Tankette




And the Humber 4x4.

I saw one live in france on normandie 2017 and the owner told me, he drives from england till france
with such a truck and his wife. He was fine guy, we had a good conversation.



P.S. i take some of the pictures from the Internet, if there is a problem, contact me and i will delete them.

Sd.Kfz.10…..that would be a GREAT idea. Love it’s looks, so many different things to use it for, maybe Kompact Kits could also do a Flak38 with Trailer to tow! I’m in, for maybe two….and I haven’t purchased a kit in a looooong time too!
