The Official Armortek Forum - World leader in one sixth scale metal kits

Production of the Early Tiger 1 (Feb 1943 version) is in full wing now with almost all machines switched over.

Material has started to arrive and swarf is being generated in quantities again !

Hull side plates - 8mm thick Ali Left hand side completed First operation on the Drive cases Sprocket billets ready for machining

Hopefully there’ll be a restock of Tiger I spare parts too?

Oooof, it always feels more real when that solid works shot is posted.

Production of the Tiger 1 is in full swing.
The lower hull is almost complete.

I love the Tiger 1 so am a bit biased.

Don't want to jinx Armortek but with the prototype they are building showing No. 60 it means that this latest version is also in demand. For some reason the Tiger 1 is always the best seller for Armortek. Keep it up and continue improving it.

I saw that too Vince, that’s a real tribute not only to the popularity and enduring interest in the Tiger 1 as a historically significant symbol in armored warfare, but when you combine it with Armortek’s skill and engineering prowess in producing complex scale modeling kits it’s no wonder there’s such strong demand.

Just a short update for now - Tiger 1 shipping is expected to start in the next 10 days. Photographs will follow in due course.

Next week we will finish off the fasteners sets, print off the manuals and start boxing up.

Shipping is expected to start on the 12th October.

Getting boxed up and ready for shipping :

Good timing!

I have my work spot storage area cleared and ready. The timing is good since I am 98.3% done with the King Tiger which is currently on the workbench for camo pattern line drawing (Sand/yellow base complete).
