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.

Flak 88 Help Required

Post by Phil Dawe »

Evening Chaps,

Can I please apologise first if I am asking an obvious question the answer of which is probably staring me in the face.

On the Flak 88 which fastener does one use to connect CF0407 to CF0408? I cannot find reference to it in the instructions.

Many thanks

Phil

Hi Phil,

I would say it will be an M3x10 with a nut. You could make some like the original.

Hi Phil,

You can get M4 castle nuts from eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Turnbuckle-St ... 33826c3902

If you want M3 castle nuts, contact Steve Winston. Steve makes both types at 50p a nut. if you need any photos just let me know!
