Armortek

I am hopefully to receive my Chieftian kit in a few days time.

I am new to this level of modelling but look forward to it. I just wondered if there is any like minded folk in the Cumbria area?

Cheers Charles

Hi Charles and welcome to the group. A bit far from Cumbria but thought I would say hello.

Vince

Welcome to the Armortek family.

Mark

Thanks for replying.

I must say there is a heck of a lot very useful info in this forum.

Cheers all

Any particular reason for going for the Chieftain rather than one of the other models ?
Mark

In reply to your enquiry Mark, I just missed out on armotek tiger(late). I opted for King Tiger (deposit paid).

Up comes Chieftian, went on reserve list, one became available so here I am. I am looking at these projects as a retirement issue and investment.

Although not army I am ex RAF, cold war era. Always had a fascination about armour modelling.

Hope that's ok

Welcome Charles...…….. and I'm sure Mark will forgive you

Hello Charles
Great to see new owners joining the more established tank nuts.
I am waiting on a Chieftain myself and having seen the prototype can say that it’s a beast.
Armortek owners up north are fairly thin on the ground but 2 names that do spring to mind are Paul Morris (Paul’s tank workshop) and Paul Willis, both are in Cumbria. I live just south of Manchester and therefore not to far away from you.

Hi Charles,

Welcome to the forum and the 1/6th world of tanks.

As Steve says I am in south Cumbria, the gate way to the Lakes..... drop me a PM if you want to meet up.

Paul.

Cheers guys
All new to this forum thingy, many thanks for the replies.

Monique has given me a contact in Kendal and thanks Paul it would be good to meet like minded folk.

For info I'm based near Penrith.

Hi Charles, just received Chieftain number 12 and live in Chorley. First build like this so am scouring all the topics for info.

Andy is that Chorley in Lancashire? I am in Manchester and I will receive my Chieftain next Monday.there are now at least 3 Chieftains around the North West area,is that enough to make a platoon?

Received 5 boxes of chieftain(34) today, will have to wait until weekend to have a proper ratch though everything, good to know there are more like minded folk near by.

Hello Manny, Charles, Andy and Paul
I have a Chieftain on order and should be receiving it in the near future. I live near Stockport south of Manchester so am the fourth Chieftain owner in the North West. Hopefully we can have a get together sometime in the future.
Regards
Steve

It certainly sounds like plan.

Can this thread be linked to the chieftian's main sort of forum?

I don't have a clue how it could be done.But I hope it is a reasonable suggestion.

Cheers Charles
