1:16 was my scale. Until 'Konan' came into my life... an Armortek 1:6 Tiger 1!

I'm a happy man.

I really hope the owner gets his property back, it sounds realistic distinctive looking vehicle.

Looks like it was stolen to order, in which case it is already in the back of a van and heading across Europe. It would be unusable in the UK as it is so unique.

Re: Stolen Armortek Quad, 25pdr and Limber
Good morning,
Despicable. Some rich guy wanted a toy and hired a crook to get one he saw and liked. Couldn't be arsed to buy a kit and build like the rest of us. I hope it is found and returned but believe also that it was 'seen' and stolen as a result.
regards,
Painless
P.S. As an add-on to my useless gripe, it would be interesting if some Chinese factory suddenly started pumping out knock off copies of a complex Armortek model.

At one show there was indeed a Chinese company selling 1/6 metal tanks, ...and they set up shop opposite the Armortek stand???P.S. As an add-on to my useless gripe, it would be interesting if some Chinese factory suddenly started pumping out knock off copies of a complex Armortek model.

Good afternoon, W.W.,
It will be noteworthy indeed if next year, they are selling 1/6 Quads complete with 25pdr and Limber.

I wish I were able to provide a more positive contribution to the revolution of this thread, but unfortunately all I can do is commiserate your loss. I sincerely hope the gods of RC see fit to return your model to you and that the thieving scumbags are caught and prosicuted.

Re: Stolen Armortek Quad, 25pdr and Limber
Last year we got broke into and tools and my rc boat got taken. The police found the toe rag in a few hours of my call. The reason they got him was due to the fact he was tagged. 6 months later he went to court and was let off because he was on drugs. He had know less then 60 convictions for breaking into people’s homes. Did I get my tools and boat back, did I hell as like. In a few months it your 25pdr will turn up on eBay, GL, or in gumtree repainted and being sold for 10 pounds. We live in a very sick country these days due to lefties and do Goode’s.

Not unlike our sister nation liberalism is destroying this nation. We are letting the third world invade this nation at an alarming rate. The immigrants we wind up with aren't interested in assimilation but the free perks that come here. Those of us who are decorated veterans and have served this nation have no access to benefits handed to them without ever paying a single dime into the system. I was floored to see London after not being there since 1986 when I earned my jump wings at Aldershot.
A Commander has to make vital decision on incomplete information in a matter of seconds, and afterwards the experts can sit down at leisure, with all the facts before them, and argue about what he might, could or should have done.- Sir William Slim
