About Armortek

Welcome to Armortek, the number one site for the 1/6th scale modeller. We are a UK based company, specialising in scale models of military vehicles. All of our models are manufactured from metal, and are available with power and full remote control.

Since its start up in 2001 Armortek has established itself as the market leader in the supply of the highest quality metal tanks and military vehicles in 1/6th scale. During the last six years we have learned a great deal about the market and what our customers demand in terms of quality and service standards. We have also learned a great deal about the manufacturing process and the key suppliers on which we can rely.



Our future objective is to create the conditions under which Armortek can develop a significant range of quality metal models over the next few years and combine this with the highest standards of customer service. We appreciate this future vision cannot be realised without significant investments in design, prototyping and tooling and, indeed, in the management and technical expertise to make this all happen. A significant change in the ownership and management structure of the business occurred in 2006 when the business was acquired by Mark and Gill Watkins with the aim of developing the business from the successful foundation already established. Now located in East Devon Armortek has a dedicated industrial manufacturing unit from where all parts are produced and shipped to customers.


Armortek operates as a professional engineering business, and is fully equipped with the latest design, development and manufacturing facilities. Products are designed in house using the latest 3D, computer aided design software, complimented by a rapid prototyping machine for virtually instant part proving.



Manufacturing is carried out on the very latest modern multi axis turning and machining centres equipped with full CNC control. Sheet metal is all laser or water jet cut by specialist UK suppliers, and cast parts are mostly UK sourced. Track links and rubber moulded parts are sourced from tried and trusted overseas suppliers. All parts are brought together and inspected prior to being packaged in our Devon factory, ready for despatch.

Mark and Gill Watkins have over 20 years experience of operating specialist engineering businesses and are now concentrating solely on Armortek, to provide continued improvement in product quality and customer care. We aim to provide the best value for money that can be obtained anywhere in the world of 1/6th scale AFV modelling.
