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.

Panther Road Wheel

Post by Bill Riedel »

Does anyone have a photo of how a spare road wheel was attached to the turret wall?

Hi Bill,

This was all field modifications and different layout might occur but here are some photos of the Houffalize Ausf G from 116th Panzer Division:

The wheel was held by 3 threaded rods welded to the turret sides + nuts.
It is not bolts but rods and in the RHS photo it looks as the rods are screwed into the turret as well as welded.

Kind regards
Kent
It´s all in the details!
