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.

Torsion Bars

Post by AlastairCooke »

Hi All,
I am starting to assemble the torsion bars. (Another task I can do whilst waiting for the weather to improve so that I can begin a final disassembly and etch prime). I carefully reworked the threads so that I could hand tighten down to the state shown below. Is this sufficient or should the 'shoulder' not be visible. I cannot tell whether I have bottomed out the tread or not.

Any advice or guidance would be appreciated, thanks.

From those photos it looks like the steel shafts have bottomed out to the faces of the swing arm so that is as much that they will go in.
