Quite Correct
but some as you have shown are a lot less than others
the field of armour looks just right to me
so suppose its the front runner

Well there aint any cheap way into large scale ready to run tanks!

If there was, there would be a lot less self builders!!!

I see you are in Norway. There are quite a few builders in that part of the world. Maybe on has a kit they are willing to part with or would be willing to build. You can post an add on the atmortek forum by contactind sales@armortek.co.uk
I started out with some 1/16 tanks. Put in s lot of time snd money but they do not keep my interest. Will give them to my little boy when he gets bigger. You will pick up bssic maintenance as you go along. I have found them to be low maintenance. I made trolleys for moving them around the workshop and ramps needed for loading into the car.

Hello
Good to hear from you.
Must admit have not come across any Big Tank folk here?, but I will look harder.
,I have being advised to ask on amortek before ,but if it was for an amortek tank then it would regrettably be a bridge to far...do not think I can afford one.Hope I have not misunderstood you?

I do not need a car as the tank will be run around our garden with natural tank assault coarse it will never require moving.

I am looking at maybe a Field Of armour Tiger? but no rush,must get this right

all the best Steve
