1/6 Scale Metal RC Tanks & Model Tank Kits | Armortek

Armortek is a family business in the United Kingdom making 1/6 scale (1:6) all-metal model tank kits: large scale RC tanks and military vehicles that you build yourself and can make remote controlled.

The kits are aluminium, steel and brass, held together with fasteners, so no welding is needed. They are large: a finished Jagdpanther is about 152 cm long to the end of the barrel and weighs about 75 kg, and our largest models weigh up to 140 kg.

Each kit builds into a complete static model, with a detailed instruction manual. Add our option packs and it becomes a remote control tank: the Motion pack drives and steers it and, on tanks, turns the turret and elevates the gun; the Sound, Recoil and Smoke packs add the sounds of the engine, the recoil of the main gun and smoke.

These are high-performance adult collectibles. Most tanks take about 200 to 400 hours to build and paint, and owners share their builds and tips on the Armortek Forum.

Every kit is a limited edition, designed and machined at our factory in Hampshire, UK, and shipped worldwide. See the kits available now or every kit we have made; to order, email sales@armortek.co.uk or call +44 (0)1962 571 055.

We pride ourselves on crafting models that are not just visually stunning but also mechanically robust. Our 1:6 scale tanks are designed to replicate the intricacies of real-world tanks, making them a favourite among engineers, history buffs and RC hobbyists alike. Featuring scale thickness armour and prototypical features such a torsion bars or volute sprung suspension, each kit is meticulously engineered for realism and durability, ensuring a truly immersive modelling experience.

Armortek stands out for its commitment to the hobbyist community, offering kits that are not only buildable straight out of the box using normal DIY tools, but also customizable by the modeller to suit individual preferences.

Whether you're fascinated by the engineering marvels of World War II or the modern-day military giants, our diverse collection has something for every interest. Our models, including the iconic Tiger I, the formidable Sherman, and the modern Leopard 2, are crafted with attention to engineering excellence and historical details, providing a window into the past and present.
