Great to see friends again at the SW Model Show, first of the new season. Some armour models which caught my eye to enjoy.
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: SW Model Show, Bovington, 8/9 Feb 25
Those were the days Dennis. We always had a good crowd interested in the one sixth models. It just became too restrictive and too much like hard work to enjoy. From the Museum's perspective, we weren't a source of revenue so were likely to be marginalised despite being an attraction for the paying punters. Pity.

Hi Dennis, i went in the Hall where you had your display in past years, it was dismal in there, empty bar a few small exhibitors, i could not see a reason why you should not be there, the Punters loved the Tanks, you and your Group did it all for free, stupid decision from the Museum, regards simon.

unfortunately I was late and missed the exhibit by 2 days
Be happy that in the Tank Museum in Bovington are at least plastic models allowed. In the Tank Museum Munster in Germany, there are no more model tanks allowed. "It does not fit to the purpose of a tank beeing a killing machine". Just to say. But maybe it is not the right place here for this kind of discussion.
