Ever since Armortek started one of the most frequently asked questions has been. ‘You are a British company so why do you not offer a British tank?’ We are delighted that we will now be able to say that we do!
We are very pleased with the choice and think it is going to make an excellent and very interesting model. We know of course that it will not be everyone’s choice as indeed would be the case whatever model we finally decided on.
As most of you will appreciate the visuals on the site have been computer generated, by Mark Mitchell, from the solid works model which Mark has drawn and fully detailed. Mark M. has also been responsible for the camouflage cover that has been keeping you all guessing this week! We are also grateful to the Tank Museum for allowing us to reproduce original photos from their archives as well as giving Mark full access to the example of the full size vehicle in their museum.
A prototype will be constructed over the next few months and we will post pictures on the forum as this takes shape.

Very nice change!
I'm happy for all those wanting a British vehicle. Well done Mark and Gill and all those involved.
Looks great! I think this is the most people I've seen logged on at one time!

Hello Gill and Mark
What an inspired choice. I hope it sells like hot cakes. It's a tank with a decent gun, a suspension new to Armortek, a short but honourable operational record so ticks all my boxes,.
Today, as I'm sure you calculated, is the 92nd anniversary of the Battle of Cambrai, the first large scale tank action and today the Regimental day of the British Royal Tank Regiment. So how appropriate to launch famous British tank.
3 RTR 1945 here we come.
Thanks.
Stephen
