The Official Armortek Forum - World leader in one sixth scale metal kits

To all Armortek builders, i have seen the NEW Armortek King Tiger at the Tank Fest Today (Saturday), "Absoloutly Superb!"
Impressive, if you see it you will want one, i do..
Simon Manning

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.

Thanks Antony

Haven't started my jadgpanther yet,but I did start my 2013 King Tiger Savings Fund.

I was drooling that much I could hardly read the numbers on my credit card , my wife said the last time she saw me like that was when I saw Danni Minogue sat on ZXR 750 at the bike show:? and I didn't think she was looking

Hi Paul
I know how you feel, I spent 2 days drooling and begging!! but finally got my way , KT ordered , and in the middle of sitting my last exam . Instead of studying i was drooling. But at least i passed.
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.
Richie

Hi Richie,

I didn't have to beg glad you have passed your exams, you can come and fix my lights now .

You will get beaten up if you call her one, my mate is from Hamilton just outside Glasgow and he calls anyone from any further north a Chuckter, he said it means a person that is intimate with sheep

Paul .

Hi Antony,

Thats a nice shell and with it's transit case , but if I bought it I wouldn't be able to afford the sound for the KT
