Too bad! Now my Jagdtiger will loose its unique characteristic to be the one and only in Germany........

Sorry Gerhard but we already have a few orders from Germany to keep your JT company
You may have started a trend !

Thanks to all who attended and made this such a fantastic event. Some of you may have noticed a gentleman sitting at the front of the talks with a camera & microphone. That was Ian Maw & he recorded the talks for his youtube channel. Videos can be viewed here: David Fletcher talk about the M3 tank: ...

As we start with the prototype, we will post details here.

Our favourite quote comes fro...

.............. Some hull back bins would fill a space or two.

They are on the production version, but not the prototype. Same with the ribbing on the bins.

A few more photographs of the Chieftain.

Production is now in full swing on the King Tiger. Photographs below show some of the hull sides going through the first operation as well as the front armour plate - also going through its first operation. Those plates are 25mm (1" thick). The cutout that you can see is clearance for the gearheads ...

I've now added the Knowledge Base Topic on moving the heavier Armortek models. It covers motor cycle lifts, lazy susans, hydraulic lift tables and ramps for loading. It also covers ways of restraining the model in the car or van. It's intended to cover the basics but it would be good to add other op...

Prompted by Alastair's original question, I've now updated the Knowledge Base Topic on moving models, here: http://www.armortek.co.uk/Forum3b/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=5798&p=49293&sid=39ecb49f15fc423bce04f9302a993044#p49293 It might seem a bit basic to the old hands but I hope will be useful guidance to...

Rubber inserts for the Chieftain tracks getting counted out and packed.

Quite a few great suggestions in this post ... perhaps something there for the future ??

At the open day there will be a table set up with the new electronics laid out and working so you can see (and test) how it all fits together and works. To answer a few of the questions raised: • The electronics themselves have been designed to be backwards compatible with the last two generations o...

At long last the new generation of electronics are ready - shipping will start from next week as documentation is updated and option packs are packed. Thanks for your patience whilst we have been working behind the scenes to get everything working together in as user-friendly a way as possible. Some...
