This is a very demanding part of the assembly due to the multi faceted design of the turret.

Next stage is to start construction of the turret along with installing the motors and all associated electronics.

Check out the build log under the Workbench menu above for more details.

]]> frontpage Mon, 26 Jul 2010 04:24:32 -0700 New Armortek models announced http://www.scalereplica.com/Latest/new-armortek-models-announced.html Armortek have announced a new tank model.  It is actually three variants of one tank, the Panther.

They are all based on the same "universal" hull (top left).  The variants are Bergepanther (top right), the Jagdpanther  (bottom left) and the Panther Ausf G (bottom right).

This is a very exciting model and a great way of providing several interesting variants of the same tank.

For more information check out Armortek's website http://www.armortek.co.uk/.

I am currently deciding whether to add one of these variants to my growing build list.

All that remains to be done is to spray the base color which I will ptobably do after I have finished the two mud guards.

The tank is the British A34 Comet which came into service at the end of World War 2.

This should be a very interesting tank to build with lots of detail and totally different suspension and construction from that of the Panzer III and King Tiger.
