About Armortek


Armortek is the worlds leading manufacturer of 1/6th scale armour kits. With a reputation for service, reliability and the best build quality in the market, no other supplier comes close to the overall package that Armortek offers the armour enthusiast and model builder. Our kits are manufactured in our state of the art facility in England's West Country. A massive investment in the latest design and manufacturing equipment means that we can offer unrivalled quality at realistic prices, and produce kits in timescales to keep even the keenest of builders happy. Armortek use the latest full three dimension modelling and design software to produce detailed virtual models of each new product and prove designs by using in house rapid prototyping, and manufacturing. Production parts are mostly machined from solid material on our multi axis turning machines and machining centres. All this equipment is of course CNC (computer numerically controlled) to manufacture reliable and accurate parts. We use mainly aluminium alloys in the manufacture of our models, but steels are used for mechanical parts such as shafts and axles and for sheet parts, which are laser cut. All Armortek models feature scale thickness armour throughout their construction and use full size construction practises wherever it is possible to incorporate them. That is why our big German tanks feature torsion bar suspension and fabricated hulls and turrets, where as the allied vehicles feature volute or leaf springing and cast turrets, just like the real thing.		The models are brought to life by the fitting of the option packs. Armortek are unique in the model making world, in using only industrial motors and control gear in our motion packs. Models are designed to run for about 45 minutes on each recharge of the standard battery and are ready to handle the absolute roughest of terrain. Our tanks weigh in at around 340lbs (170kgs) and are capable of pulling a 7.5 ton truck, or climbing a muddy 45 degree slope. Undergrowth and tree saplings are thrown down in the path of these machines as they leave true track marks in the ground behind them. The special effects pack brings digitally recorded proportional sound to the model. Each sound being faithfully recorded from the full size tank. The smoke generator produces proportional smoke from the engine exhaust. The most spectacular effects are provided by our own specially designed blank firing system. This unit provides six shots from a magazine mounted inside the turret. The unit uses 12 gauge blanks with black powder filling to give a deep cannon sound, with plenty of smoke and a flash at the muzzle. In addition to the big tanks, Armortek offer armoured cars, half tracks and field guns, each with scale features and options, so that the enthusiast can build battle groups from his collection. Armortek is a family run business, with personal customer service and back up. When you buy Armortek you buy the best and become a member of a select group of builders worldwide.
