Another new Project for 2010

Monday, 04 January 2010 18:32

Today I picked up another new project for 2010, another Armortek tank, this time one of the biggest tanks of World War II, the German King Tiger.

I will be starting this model in a few months.

The model itself will weigh around 330lbs and is 67" long (including barrel), 25" wide and 20" high. and will be powered by two 24volt motors as well as separate motors for turret rotation and gun elevation.

New Project for 2010

Wednesday, 25 November 2009 14:50
I have ordered a 1/6th scale German Panzer III Panzerkampfwagen III (50mm) Ausf L from Armortek in the UK. The Panzer III model is 41" long and weighs about 140lbs and is constructed primarily from steel and aluminum with other cast alloys and materials used as appropriate. The thickness of the armor is even to scale. The model will also be fully radio controlled using 2 main drive 24 volt 450 watt motors, a two further 24v motors for turret rotation and main gun elevation. To compliment the scale effect there will also be a sophisticated sound system with digital recordings of the real tank and a smoke system to simulate the exhaust. Stay tuned, the kit is due in a few weeks! Picture courtesy of Armortek
