GIANT-SIZE RUSSIAN T-34 TANK COMING FROM ARMORTEK

David Jefferis reports

The Devon-based Armortek company has announced its latest 1:6 scale AFV model, the Russian T34, in short and long barrel versions. Armortek bills itself as the world’s leading manufacturer of these big-scale kits, with service, reliability, and top build-quality coming with every model.

KING TIGER FROM MARK 1 TANKS

The US Sherman tank we showed in the last post is no longer available from Mark 1 Tanks... but this 1:6 scale King Tiger certainly is.

The K-T's hull measures 1.2 m (48 in) long, and with the gun trained forward you can add a further half-metre (20 in) to that. The monster RC machine tips the scales at a hernia-inducing 90kg (199 lb) but, just like the real thing, the wide tracks spread the weight, so it can cruise over soft ground with ease.
