Hey,
What is the chance that ArmorTek made a Churchhill?
Now that would be a project to build!

Within the next 18 months/ 2 years I would have thought that you have more chance of being struck by lightning. But if one ever does emerge my name will be on the list of buyers.

Not one of my favourite tanks but would make an interesting model if not a bit complicated. Maybe a T34 would be a better bet and an easier build
I have just looked at one of the links above and was wondering how on earth did the driver see left and right with those great big track guards either side
Must have been a little like a blinkered race horse.

COOL! So we can expect a Churchill then!
I think it would be a real neat model for Armortek to make and I'd like to see one in 1:6th. That
Stug III being said, it wouldn't
Stug III be my first choice for the
Stug III next model.
Hmmmmm wonder what I'd like as the next release?

Hi,
The Tiger 1 at the Bovington tank museum was captured when it was stopped by a Churchill tank!

Hi,
If I remember correctly from the Open Day, Mark did state that the minimum quantity for a new tank is between 35/40 units depending upon engineering time/material costs and confirmed demand (i.e. deposits).
On the basis that the PZIII is in production, the "hull & running gear" elements needed for a STUG III is already done. Maybe Mark & Gill would consider the "top half" required as an Option!?!?
regards
Mike

Hello Chaps
As we all Know Allied stuff dont sell as no one puts there money where there mouth is. Just look at the Sherman which took ages to sell.
As for an option for the PZIII to convert to a Stug i dont think that will happen. If there was a Stug III Released it would be the whole Tank and not the top Half.

Lee,
That may be true, but the enginering and tooling has been done for half the kit has already been done, so perhaps that changes the equation a bit?
A stugIII would be nice.
