Wow, that looks absolutely amazing...

After taking a look on the Armortek website, I know what I'm getting the minute i win the lottery (Jagdpanther - love the design), but not much chance of getting one otherwise, unfortunately....

I like the Thunderhawk you've got in the cabinet, btw, very nice

I am loving watching this tank come together!! It's looking fantastic just need to sell the other harts Yaris so I can get one!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the nice comments. Really is a great kit but you need to invest in equipment just to move it also. I will get more work done on interior detail just to drag on the build. Working on it for a year now so I figure it is good value. Sacrifices need to be made though. I have a panzer IV kit on the way but will not start it till the tiger is complete and I have a proper workshop built. I will get the motors running soon but need to get some strong ramps to get it off the table. Also have some animatronic crew figures.

Some more parts of the seat completed. Having trouble working out a way that the lever can operate the catch on the seat. Still more to do but almost there. I need to make the leather seat pads also.

Parts are made based on the drawings on David Byrdens site if anybody interested.

Here is a link.
