I think this firm is based in China. For tiger 1, there is only 20 models. 10 for China, and 10 for the rest of world, but I don' t know if all are sold.
The price is about 5900 Euro (4900£).

Buyer beware. Have you tried the Armortek owners forum? Please check them out because the tanks are proven designs and much less than this company is asking. here is the link.

These are Armortek kits being sold used,many never even started. So much more likely to be a quality purchase and replacement parts are available much closer to home.
I have a purchased parts from this group and from several of our own members here who have armortek parts they sold after upgrading their own tanks. Never a bad deal,and in one case I received many extra parts because of the persons generosity.
Cheers Saxondog
