Hello All,I was following the post about TANK FEST @BOVINGTON and noticed on their site the Armortek link.Well when I opened the Armortek home page their was this announcement of a new tank,the A34 COMET.http://www.armortek.co.uk/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; http://www.armortek.co.uk/html/vehicles ... omet1.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; After reviewing details at their site I was a little bit shocked to see all kits sold out except the A34Comet. In a bad economy Armortek seems to be doing pretty good. Blake

Looks great but the wife would kill me

Not exactly a surprise that the Comet kit is still available, it has been available from Mark-1 for over a year but not much interests from buyers

Wow,in the ad posted at the Bovinton site they said new from Armortek. Hatakashi how did you ship your tank from the U.k.? And how about a picture of the internals within the turret? Saxondog

Yes it's new from "Armortek" but not new from "Mark-1 Tank"
I shipped my tank back from UK in a custom made wooden box.

Thanks for the information,but I was getting at was which carrier?We talked about the crate when my Tiger arrived damaged after being shipped in their custom box.So was it DHL,UPS,or Another carrier? Cheers Blake

Oh yeah sorry, it's another carrier called:
Worldwide Shipping & Airfreight Ltd

Thanks Hatakashi for the information,cheers Blake

Are you sure this is true? In my experience Mark 1 tanks 1/6th models are constructed of plastics and fiberglass and made in Russia. Armortek's are all metal kits.

What is true? the box, or Mark-1's Comet?
Your guess is partly right, Mark-1 tanks are made of thick and hard fibreglass and they have a Comet available:
