SD. KFZ. 7 HALF TRACK

Armortek kits include all the parts necessary to build the model as illustrated.

This includes:

• machined, cast, and sheet metal parts
• Bearings and all fasteners required
• Comprehensive instruction manual and assembly drawings.

An Armortek kit provides you with a complete static model.

Option Packs can be added to provide Motion, Sound, Gun Recoil and Smoke.

Not included are adhesives and paints and other consumables.

Our kits tend to be produced in batches of limited numbers – typically less than 100 kits – hence they are Limited Edition. Each kit* comes with a certificate to indicate its serial number and certify its authenticity.

Historically Limited Edition runs of the same model have been run between 3 to 8 years apart, with some models having had no re-run to date.

*The field guns, Bailey bridge and hedgehogs do not have a serial number and are not considered limited editions as they are generally maintained in stock.

We recommend that you have some experience of modelling or working with metal to build our kits. Although the parts are manufactured on state of the art CNC machines, the builder can expect to need to fettle some parts - for example, filing, clear holes, deburring, etc.

A comprehensive instruction booklet with drawings and part numbers breaks down the construction into simple stages. We also offer support via email and there is a very resourceful customers forum to provide guidance if you get stuck.

You will need a set of good hand tools. The following list should be regarded as the minimum:

• Spanners (wrenches) 5.5mm, 7mm, 8mm, 10mm and a mini adjustable.
• Allen (hex) keys 1.5mm-6mm.
• Screw drivers small flat blade 3mm and 4mm.
• Pliers 5” long nose, 5” combination.
• Small hammer
• Files selection of needle files and small hand files.

In addition to the above, a selection of larger files and a cordless drill with 3mm, 4mm and 5mm drill bits (for clearing through holes) can be useful to speed things up. You will also need a good sturdy work bench as these kits are heavy once fully assembled.

In general, one of our tanks takes about 100 to 200 hours to build and paint, but it is not an easy question to answer and depends on your modelling experience as well as how much time is spent on painting and adding after market details or customising parts.

We have customers who build the kits and keep them in their bare metal finish and we have customers who can spend years researching a certain tank and faithfully replicating all the details of that particular tank onto their model. We also have the full spectrum of customers in between.

Armortek kits vary in weight and it is best to check the product pages to get an estimate of the weight.

However, a couple of examples:

• Elefant Tank (Basic kit with no options added) – approx 90kg
• Tiger 1 (All options and batteries included) – approx 110kg

Yes you can.

We generally keep option packs in stock for several years so they can be purchased at a later date. With most of our kits, the option packs can be added once the kit has been built, however some disassembly may be required.

No you do not.

An Armortek kit will provide you with a fully built static model. Option packs are only required if you want to bring your model to like by adding remote control motion, sounds, smoke, etc.
