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.

S-Mine System

Post by Vince Cutajar »

Today I was browsing the tiger1.info website and using information from there I made a 3D model of the launcher and mine which should complement beautifully the information on that site.

Great work Vince, I made mine out of brass a few years back and intended to make some spares but never got round to it. If you are making any for sale let me know please, although I only want the S-Mines.

Don't for get the little tongue that holds the sleave in place.

Thanks guys for the comments.
Paul it was mostly a drawing exercise. If you want the file for the mines I can send it over. The diameter of the mine body is 18mm.

Hi Vince, thanks for the offer, unfortunatly I've no 3D printer. After I put the post up I wondered if I still had the marials to make them with and I have, so I will do some more when I have time.

Beautiful work...

Can someone explain to this Edwardian-era technologist how this system was deployed? I see how it works as a launcher. But what would be the tactical use? Be able to surround a tank with anti-personnel mines in case they were trying to swarm a tank? Sow minefields?

Or were they launched and when they hit the ground, they would spray balls, again to stop infantry?

Just curious how these were deployed.

Thanks...
