Got Mine today

Hi Guys
Got my kit today at 13.38 uk time and I have to say it looks
brilliant.
The machineing is superb and the instruction book is first class
also lots of detail parts from Armorpax included as standard makes this
one of the best deals on the market.
I would say first impressions are it is leaps and bounds above the great Panther kit I am just finnishing and all for a grand less....

Thanks for Mark and Gill First class team....

Ps the caps are cool too

Well chuffed Derek

JUST KIDDING!

Best wishes,

Hi Guys
I have number 009.
I have to finnish the panther electrics and then I will rip the box apart.
because I dont have room to rip at the moment

Things seem quite small when put against the Panther parts
But the finnish looks very fine.
A great job Mark

I have more Panther pictures to post buy I cant get them to load.

Derek

Congratulations guys

Hello Keith . After looking at your web site . It looks like , you are very handy with the modeling tools .Have you built a large scale tank before?? Dale

Thanks Dale

Not yet, but I'm sure looking forward to the process this coming February.

I've been researching the large scale tanks for about a year and a half and came to the conclusion that Armortek is at the very top of the field.

Not only that, but I was very impressed with the emails when I first applied. A simple "In the meantime please do not hesitate to contact us if there is anything further we can assist with" in one of Gill's responses; really stands out in my mind to this day.

I was also able to locate this U-Tube video to actually see the "Mark and Gill team". You can tell that they are very passionate about Armortek:

This forum is a invaluable reference; and I'm sure that the advice and tips from experienced tank modelers such as yourself will make the build a very enjoyable process

P.S. Your recently sold Early Tiger is a fantastic model. It sounds like it found an appreciating new home. I bet that you cannot wait for the Panzer III and KT kits to arrive!

Hi Keith

Welcome to 1:6th armor. I just wanted to post a quick message to say that your avatar image is awesome!. Space 1999 was my favorite show when I was younger and the Eagles are still one of my favorites!

too cool!

You are correct. Gill and Mark are the best and their customer service is second to none.

Kind regards

Tim

Keith you are spot on about Gill and Mark , they are the best to deal with !!.
I miss my early tiger already . But it's going to a good home . I still have about five months of modeling time left on my Sherman . So then I have to deside which to build next PZ III or King tiger I feel very lucky to be in this postion I could not be happier . One kit will have to go under the bed . without the wife knowing for a while ... The PZIII will be a good change from a tiger size model . Then on the other hand I would like to build the king tiger next Febuary or March with the other five king tigers coming to Australia .. What would you guys do?? Dale
