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

Unless it is commercially sensitive information it might be of interest to know when Armortek and its customers finally out produce the Third Reich. Tigers 1 and 2 were only produced in modest numbers and the Jagdtigers even smaller numbers I think.

Can anyone readily produce the production figures?

Perhaps one day we could all get together and have a 1/6th Kursk event or restage the well known KT parade that is on the KT page of the Armortek website.

Hi Steven,

I guess there is still room for more Armortek tanks, before the numbers of the real beasts are reached
Documented German production numbers:
Panzer VI (Tiger I) : 1350 pcs.
Panzer VI Ausf. B (Tiger II) : 489 pcs.
Jagdtiger : 79

Thanks for that info. A couple more years to go then and its off to Moscow!

Given the tens of thousands of T34s and Shermans it is just amazing what such tiny numbers of German machines accomplished.

My father-in-law drove a Sherman from Bournemouth to the Rhine and his memories of seeing an 88 poking out from a hedge or a building convey graphically the bad news that Tigers represented for Tommies - especially those in Shermans.
