Thanks for posting the photos Simon . Yes this is the finest model so far by Armortek . Besides all the better fitting etc. I like the idea of the alloy deck with all the detail machine in , plus the way Mark has done the turret roof in three parts made out of alloy as well this will make for a better fit instead of trying to bend the joint . let's hope that Armortek will do this on the P.III and all their new models . I talked to my wife about the king tiger and showed her the photo on the web site last night.. She just shock her head and walk out of the room ... I think I have to work on this one !!!! .. Dale

Hello Chaps

This one is very impressive. I was there aswell and saw it in the flesh
front and back plates 25mm
side plates 12mm
deck plates 6mm
Everyhing else is very simular to the Panther/Tiger1 The speed according to Mark is 60% slower but twice the Torque. This one is well worth the Cash. Limited numbers aswell but not decided yet.

Thanks for posting more pics. All I can say is it is stunning. I really want one of these. I hope they make plenty of them. This is sure to be one of the best sellers yet.

The armor is some excellent worksmanship, great job Mark and Gil.

Hi Paul
I know how you feel, I spent 2 days drooling and begging!! :( but finally got my way :P , KT ordered :P , and in the middle of sitting my last exam :( . Instead of studying i was drooling. But at least i passed. :P
We'll probably pop in on Sunday on the way back from wedding. (Just going to ask my wife what that means now. :? ) Hope I don't get a bashing for it. :(

This might interest you to stand along side your mighty KT when built.
