Hi,
As the title says - I'm looking for someone to rebuild my King Tiger for pleasure and profit.
I'm sure there was a section somewhere on the forums where potential builders/rebuilders advertised their services - I'm obviously misremembering or I'm too thick to find it....*
I lack the technical know how and, more importantly, the time to undertake this - so I'm happy to farm it out.
Currently the tank has a jammed gearbox/motor** on the RHS - I suspect new motors will be required and possibly a rewire. I'm also looking to get the barrel elevation mechanism fitted as well which I have.
I'm actually happy to repaint it myself - funnily enough I enjoy painting things with the airbrush and quite fancy having a go at the beast. It will make a change from blue space marines I suppose....
The tank is currently residing in South Devon at my mum's place - I'm happy to transport it as I can just stick it in the truck (as I have a well trained Para to help with heavy lifting).
If anyone is interested please drop me a PM and we can start discussions.
Mods - if this is in the wrong place please feel free to move it.
All the best
John Caboche

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.
