Our Legacy

For over 20 years, Armortek has been at the forefront of large-scale military modelling, producing over 30 different WWI and WWII kits. With a commitment to excellence, our models have been sold to thousands of customers in over 40 countries worldwide.

We work closely with The Tank Museum in the UK, private collectors, and historical experts to ensure each kit is designed with unmatched attention to detail. Every model undergoes extensive research, measurement, and development to accurately replicate real battlefield vehicles.

Unmatched Quality & Engineering

Each Armortek kit is made of metal, featuring scale-thickness armour for a realistic and robust build. We incorporate full-size construction techniques such as torsion bar suspension and leaf springs, providing an unparalleled level of realism. Some models weigh over 100kg (220lbs), with highly realistic motion over rough terrain – so lifelike that they have even been used for training purposes to demonstrate manoeuvring over different landscapes.
