Militracks 2019
Armortek will be at Militracks at the Overloon Museum in Holland on the 18th and 19th May with a couple of our models.
Militracks is the largest gathering of running German WWII armour in the world and judging by past YouTube videos it should be a great event.
If you are going, stop by and say hi.

Re: Militracks 2019
Boss asked us today to plan on being required to work on the 18th. What time would I need to be there by on the 19th to see you before you pack up ?
Also I have attended Militracks a couple of times and can recommend it. Overloon war museum where it is held SHOULD not be missed out.
The running vehicles at Militracks are generally half-tracks and motor-cycle half-tracks, with the occasional StuG.
Holland does not allow re-enactors in authentic uniforms so you may see a FAMO completey filled with kids or adults in jeans and t-shirts.
I would suggest that if you only come over purely for Militracks, then you would go away disappointed.
Plan in a day for the Overloon Museum then go up the Market-Garden route going over the bridges that were crossed, then at Arnhem , visit the Airborne Museum Hartenstein at Oosterbeek. Fantastic, when my father and I visited it, we had to stop at the next cafe for coffees and chill-time to process the experience before I could drive us home.

Hello,
me and my son will also be there. I'm so excited I just can't hide it ...
I like to see the SWS, my second workbench project in 1:8.

Re: Militracks 2019
I whish you all a sage trip, good time, lots of fun and nice weather. Unfortunately I am unable to make it this year, as I'm still swaeting under the Egyptien sun (38°) while scuba diving. Cheers Peter
Lord, give me strength to change the things I am able to change.... and patience to endure the things I can not change A bunch of Tiger and Panther variants, Leo II, Famo, 222s, a few 88`s and smaler ones like Hetzer, Stug III, 251, etc.

Re: Militracks 2019
Militracks was great event that we highly recommend for people to attend. Thank you to all our customers who stopped by to have a chat and it was great meeting you in person. Special thanks to Ton and Kees who helped us man the stall and talk to the "locals".
Few pictures of the event below. Anyone for a BARC (LARC-60) How about a Nashorn or Kettenkrad !!

Re: Militracks 2019
Thanks for fantastic pictures. Nashorn! Does it run? It does look like an awesome show. I love all the videos people post from there. Glad to see tanks get added to the mix. The Panther A is from Saumur with a new paint job? It looks better than before - but it could be a different machine as well. I think they have several.
Glad to see the Armortek booth packed! That is great turn out.
Best regards,
Bob
