Haven't seen this supplier yet but plan to visit soon given he's just 2 hours north of me in Wuxi. Apart from some minor details, their Pz3 looks appealing but wish it was offered in 1/16. Cost isn't bad considering its in the same range Warslug is asking for their FT-17.

Full Metal Panzer offers 1/16 Tiger & King Tiger; 1/6 PzIII, Tiger & King Tiger & aftermarket upgrades.

I do like their cheeky marketing style & asked them when they'll start offering MPGA caps.

Lovely looking model However, they'll have to go some to compete with the likes of Armortek- if that's their intended sector of the market. Having peeked at their 1/16 Tiger, I wasn't overly impressed.
Straightaway, I noticed the top edge of the Front Armour Plate was perfectly straight. In reality, it should slope slightly at both ends.

After discussion with this supplier, here's the skinny:

It is a small 2 man operation so output can expected to be limited. I look forward to visiting in the near future.

The Tigers shown are not their production but reworked HL 1/6 & 1/8 models customers have sent them for mods / rebuilds. The only models currently available are their new 1/6 Pz III H. Underway is a 1/16 King Tiger which will be offered soon, but in limited quantities, afterwards is a 1/16 Tiger followed by a 1/6 Tiger.

On conversion kits, currently offer 1/16 lower hulls for HL Challenger & M1 Abrams; also a dual differential gearbox. Other mods offered, mostly for HL conversions.

I received a number of photos that look nice; will post more later for reference.

Should any of your fine chaps be interested, FMP is going to release a limited 1/16 King Tiger run early next year. They'll follow with a 1/16 Tiger before focusing on their planned 1/6 subjects. I've got mine reserved.

Thanks for posting the pics, Sailor!. Those builds look like the work of artisans who enjoy their chosen career paths. Good builds demand to be touched, somehow, and certainly these samples look pretty tactile to me:thumbup:

Yup, it is a small shop who run by 2 artisans. Very similar with the other gent in Wenzhou making the Panther, Jadgtiger & others. There certainly are some craftsman here around me whose only focus is on quality, low volume runs.

Please give a link or contact these artisans.

Do you have any images of these other metal tanks?

You can view more images as well contact via their website & Facebook page posted at the top of the thread. Besides their own work, they also offer upgrade service to local owners of other brands such as Armortek, Metal Box & Heng Long tanks. For example, that's an Armortek KT shown in the rear of the third photo. Others shown are of their own design.
