Armortek

The Armortek Commando were dispatched to Munster over the weekend armed with cameras and tape measures to research future releases we have been sworn to absolute secrecy and can’t say or type what is in store for the future but we can show possible pictures



And on our return we found Mark working on this prototype

I chatted to Mark at Armortek Day about future releases, especially WW1 related (what else ? ). He said then that he'd never do an A7V, as "nobody would buy a tin shed". I agree with him, especially as there were only 20 real ones ever built and they were all different ..... so I'm guessing it's not that one.

But a 38T ? Lovely idea - if there's the market for Blitzkrieg era stuff .....

An intrigued,

Chris

Too sad that no one like the A7V except me.
It will be an interesting experience to see the different behavior of the „thin shed“ and the MK IV in one to six.
A first impression gives the youtube video - A7V 1:8 Panzermuseum Munster Pfingsten 2016 -.

Oh, I never said I didn't like the A7V - it was pretty effective on good ground, and certainly looks the part ! It's just that it's not commercially viable for Armortek to produce. If it were, I'd be in the queue alongside you.

All the best,

Chris

I've heard it may be a, now what did he call it? it began with an F! was it a FA, FAM, no, its not coming to me. I know, it was a tank, that's it

Paul.

Chieftain is what I think you meant ?

I guess F stands for FT 17, the french pocket tank.
If Mark will develop some micro-motion-packs, another WW1-dream comes true.
Imagine the wooden front wheels and the hundreds of bolts and rivets!


Chris,

You are totally right that the A7V will be an entrepreneurial venture, but an impressive model with a slight touch of oddity.
