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.

The details of the show are below and we will be there from
Wednesday 15th to Sunday 19th, hopefully we will see some of you there.

Hi Dennis
Yes we have it running around. It turns well on concrete and hard surfaces, just like an all wheeled vehicle. Turning is a little slower on grass, but way better than the SDKFZ7 or the M2/M3 halftracks. Top speed is good and battery life seems very good so far.

Hope all goes well in Germany, would have liked to have been there again this year but it clashes with another event.

Re: Sdkfz 251 - Ready for Germany
Knupfer are really helpful. The only problem is that their website does not currently have the United Kingdom or Britain as a country, so I use Germany as a default. They have spotted that Oxford is not in Germany and have sent my order to Vereinigtes Königreich without fail. The stamps on the packet are always good!

Re: Sdkfz 251 - Ready for Germany
First of all congratulations for the exceptional work.
I purchase from Knupfer many years: their availability and professionalism are unmatched, and the choice and quality of their products is impressive.
To communicate with them even I used Google translator, because I do not know the German: never had any problems.
