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

Reading the armortek forum daily i always read articles on all the tank model types sold by armortek although i have bought a centurion kit myself (being delivered by UPS today !!)i still find other tank builds fascinating, we have the cream of tank model makers on here and it goes without saying i like many other new builders would probably struggle without picking up building tips from them. Reading today an article on Paul Morris's Berg Panther build i saw him using an etch primer and recommending it to others. Looking for it on the internet i found a good buy at JGS 4*4 on a pack of 6 cans (500ml each) of Autotek Professional etch primer at only £35.44 inc UK delivery. Its way cheaper than amazon and ebay and im sure will be enough for the centurion build. If a builder like paul recommends it after all his builds then it must be worth getting.
The web address is http://shop.jgs4x4.co.uk/autotek-profes ... 1244-p.asp

I have bought 6 cans today and will report back when i get building on how things go.
Im going back to the kitchen now to look out of the window patiently waiting for the UPS van to arrive with the centurion (i've hardly slept all night !!) Brings back memories of when i was 8 years old in 1965 when i got a superb birthday present, a big wind up model tank with working rubber tracks, my first tank, i just wish i still had it....

Hi Neil,

Thats really good and thanks for the posting and for the link, and enjoy your Centurion.

Best of Wishes

Hi rob, my centurion (No 14) duly arrived this morning by UPS, its not until you actually get the delivery you realise the mammoth amount of parts that make up one of these beasts, Gill does such a wonderful job with the packing too. This weekend i'm going to be busy checking it all. I havent got the sound or motion packs as yet !
Im sure this etch primer will be enough, any left over can be sold if not needed but it seemed a good price considering there are 6 cans of 500ml aerosol.

Hello Neil.

Thanks very much for posting the link and of course your very kind coments
The link will come in especially handy as the auto shop I was buying the primer from has now stopped selling it
So thanks again, and have a great time with your centurian.
Cheers Paul.
