Why wasn’t it included in their survey if they knew it was their choice?

What would be the point of that? Production was clearly finished by the time the survey came out. I'm sure Armortek will work through some of the models voted for on the survey in due course. In the mean time, there's time to a) buy the new 4x4 or b) don't buy the new 4x4, wait for the new models in the new year while enjoying watching others build the 4x4.

Brilliant choice of model. I was a bit afraid I would not be able to afford one of the new 'big' models so the Landie is perfect.

I've been busy editing my last post. Series 1 from now on. Don't mention the.....L word.. wouldn't want to put the mockers on it.

All the people I've spoken to are very interested, a winner and a draw in to the hobby.
Better than that, with a weetabix breakfast, a running model that you could possibly pickup without a clean and jerk.
Ummm trailers

As long as Armortek don't move on to caravans, (the swift) we should be alright.

Great choice, love the thinking outside the tracked box.
There are hundreds and hundreds of ideas to create an individual Series 1.


That reminds me of another community that likes to run their toys cross country

Well a set up with a good drag brake, soft tyres and other features would be necessary for that.

Dear Armortek,
You've built some awesome models over the years. Sometimes the future release isn't expected or what's on everyone's wish list - and that is fine with me. I look at it as a time to give my wallet a little rest. There's always next time. If you want to build a 1/6 Trabant or Yugo - then build it! It will be interesting journey and something new to see others build and enjoy.

I've been happy for the last 14 years tweaking away on the 5 AT tanks + Pak 40 (oops forgot Hetzer = 6 tanks) that I have - and await the future release (whether tank, car, truck, train, Spitfire artillery or whatever) with enthusiasm.

Best regards,
Bob

Hi all.

As has been pointed out by others, the series one(other high street alternatives are available) will provide an opportunity to diversify. If all goes well I will be looking to do an RAF version of the series one(other high street alternatives are available).

I have spent most of my working life driving, admittedly, series three and onwards (other high street alternatives are available).

If this works then there could be the possibility of a LWB, which would suit the SAS (other high street alternatives are available) layout.

Yes, I am biased we run a 110 LANDROVER Defender(not at all like the series one as described above and other high street alternatives are available).

Cheers

Charles

I must admit..I am quite looking forward to getting this Abrams

I’m curious to see if there will be an optional winch!

what was the next Panzer?

A 1950’s series 1 4 X 4 Land Rover.

That was the first model announced, second looks to be a contemporary tank, M1A1 or other….study the track link pictures as a clue.

Check out “And…we are back” thread.

I know, but this is the first time we haven’t had a ww2 German “panzer” in the pipeline. That’s what I’m asking for.

Well, I won’t comment on that. They are the only game in play at the moment, so just be pleased someone is doing something like this and maybe something else will come along of interest to you. It’ll be interesting to see if it’s one of the items that placed in the winner’s column of the survey….or something totally different.
