2025 ARMORTEK KIT SURVEY
Over the last few years we have brought out a whole series of kits as a direct result of your feedback - kits like the Pershing, JagdPanther, Hetzer, Leopard 2A4, and more recently the Sd Kfz 7, 88mm Flak 36 and the upcoming Challenger 2.
So, in keeping with what has become and annual tradition, here is your opportunity to once again influence our future production plans.
We have added in some "guide pricing" next to the names of the models. This is a rough estimate of the price at the current rates.
Thanks in advance for your input and we look forward to the results.

Re: yves king tiger update
Yves, Your KT is coming along nicely. The nicely painted tank in your posted snow pic is not mine, but looks like a 1/35th or 1/24th scale model.
the paint scheme and picture setting are similar to my model.

Re: yves king tiger update
She's a beauty John. They are the colours I would go with. I think the paint scheme is a base of oxidrot primer with camo stripes in Dark yellow and green. Striking scheme. Really stands out.
If interested in any parts used in my builds contact me at johnfitzsimons@msn.com for a price list.

Re: yves king tiger update
Hi guys,
Here is a little update of my KT.
First i installed the pololu box with a on and off switch just under the little hatch
of the turret. That was the best way to control the animatronics.

Afterwards i installed the grills just under the back of the turret ( Steve W grills )
And made 2 of the 3 locks to close the engine hatch ( have to order some more of the M2 bolts and nuts to make the third one )

And made also a movie of the animatronics ( made by Churchill creations )
Now i'am gonna work on the camo

Hi Yves,
Your KT is a stunning unique.
Where did you get the tube at the top-edge of the rear plate? Is it a storage for extra antennas?

Re: yves king tiger update
Hello Chang,
The tube comes from Mike Stannard, it is included if you buy
the stern antenna deluxe set.
The tube is used to storage the 3 parts of the large antenna thats on the
right backside of the KT. But i donth place that antenna, i just use the tube for the detail. And there are already 3 antenna's on my KT.
Thanks guys for the compliments on the camo scheme, there is still some work to do
to make it better.
best regards Yves
