  • In this video I am getting the Tiger 1 ready for a visit to the Armortek Factory. The parts featured are mostly metal and have been made by me. It has been a long time since I drove this tank so doing some tidy up work and testing motors, batteries and sound.
    In the next video I will be adding many more components so make sure to subscribe to the channel. #armortek #tank #giant #modeltank #militarymuseum #tiger1 #1/6scale

    My wife told me I needed to change the smoke alarm battery, she didn’t know it was coming from one of your vid’s 😂
    By the way, I just bought an unbuilt 2021 Armortek Tiger I late. I’m very excited to finally have the chance to get my hands on one.

      Smoke alarm fixed in later videos. Did tiger come with motion packs? Good luck with it. Great kit.

      Your attention to detail, and workmanship is stunning… the little bail fastners impressed me! The sound system very realistic.

    Absolutely nice work! Very realistic. But I have a suggestion for improvement: The color of the numbers of Tiger I 212 from the sPzAbt 101 was only white. There is much to suggest that the tank from M. Wittmann at Villers-Bocage was Tiger 231. With red numbers and white framing on the turret and a black number with white framing on the Rommel-Box.

      Thanks for the comment. Most of the images I have seen of 212 are red with white outline. I am assigning this tank to Bobby Will from now on. I believe it was his until he was injured. I am afraid I sometimes go along with a paint scheme or detail for aesthetic reasons rather than historic accuracy. It can be hard to reconstruct colour schemes from poor black and white photos.

    Can you build mine for me?😁 I've had my Tiger 1 from armortek for ages but don't seem to have the time and skills to build it. I started it years ago but only got to put the lower hull together and got stuck on the torsion bar fitting. Haven't touched it since.

      I Would love to take on a commission build but I am in Ireland so difficult unless you can get vehicle to me. It’s a pity to have it lying unfinished. What type is it? Early, mid or late. Do you know what year it was produced? Do you have motion kits?
      Watch my video on the suspension set up, however after some research it appears Armortek makes small changes or improvements with every release.
