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.

PAK 40 and the Knight's Cross

Post by Stephen White »

At the Chalke Valley History Festival yesterday, three German veterans recounted their experiences in WW2. One was a Fallschirmjäger who won the Iron Cross and the other two were Ritterkreuzträger - Knight's Cross holders - one a fighter pilot and the other a Panzergrenadier who served as an anti-tank gunner. The latter was Günther Halm, who at nineteen was the youngest winner of the RK. He was personally presented with the medal by Rommel. His story is here:
