Mark 1 Tanks

Post by Horses45 »

Has anyone had any dealings with Mark 1 Tanks ?,I'm thinking about getting a 1/6th tank and these seem like quite a good read but I like to have word of mouth as you get both good and bad from all sellers but was just wondering had anyone had any dealing with them ?

I have one of their Tiger I tanks in 1:6th scale. I bought it second hand and when I needed some help with it I found MArk to be extremely helpful. He knew the tank once I told him where I got it and whenever I needed parts - due to me breaking them rather than them breaking - he was always there with advice and guidance and came up trumps getting me the bits.

Personally, my experience has been all good and I would get another tank from them - I also have a T-90- but it never causes any problems so I have yet to need help from them on this one but I am confident when I do that I will get good service.

cheers

Thanks for that gorehound I am seriously thinking about a kink tiger and just before a hand over that much hard earned money I just wanted to see if anyone had one and what they were like. Sounds like mark has good customer service so that's a plus when you pay the money we all pay out for our hobby, thanks for the advice much obliged :thumbup:

Have you seen the armourtek tiger on eBay? Will probably go for less than a mark 1 and far higher quality!

If you can get a bargain price Armortek it would be much better. You need to factor in the weight difference though. Also be aware there is a vast difference between the older model Armortek Tigers and the current releases. I have had some experience with a Mark 1 king tiger and would not buy one new. I have managed to pick up 2 Armortek late tigers and am very happy with them.
