Hello Michael,

I have seen this site before. They sell tanks that are manufactured mainly in Germany and probably also in China.
The 1/4 Tiger that you refer to gave me kind of a shock. The tank shown on the second photograph, is a one-off 1/5 Tiger built by a German hobby colleague. More pictures can be found here http://www.rag-modellbau.de/153590/hamburg07.html and http://www.rag-modellbau.de/153590/intermodb07.html . Same tank,same driver.
Strange that a company uses pictures that definitely don't show the product they are promoting. To say the least

We should not forget that we are guests of Armortek

You are right Alfredo, I should have used a PM.
Will not happen again

Sorry, I didn't know I couldn't talk about a tank I was interested in buying.
I see all the time people posting links to ebay items and no one ever said anything. Im on this site because of a common interest in tanks and thought it wasn't limited to just armortek tanks. I have been a owner of two of armortek tanks and was in the market for a 1/4 scale metal tank which armortek does not make..so it would be nice if I can ask anyone about a manafacturer I never heard of before spending a large sum of money...so if I was wrong..sorry...where else would I ask a question like this???let me know
