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.

STENCILS FOR DIVISIONAL MARKINGS

Post by duncanallender »

Hi guys,.
I am looking for some stencils to give my KT it's Divisional markings. I need stencils for numbers on the turret and Leibandstarte AH insignia. Does anyone know best place to purchase these. ALSO do you apply these on top of zimmerit (hard to paint on uneven surface) or did they scrape off the zimmerit to get flat surface before giving their tanks their markings?Hope someone can help.
Cheers
Dunc

Hi Dunc,

1 Komp s.SS Pz.Abt 101 had the zimmerit removed before they painted their unit markings on both their Tiger1 and Tiger2.
Those markings was located upper right at the front and upper left at the rear.
All other (Balkenkreutz and numbers) was painter directly on to the zimmerit.
The numbers was most likely light green outlined in white.
(some looks to have been in solid yellow... :? )

More about this here:
