Here is a link to Armoteks latest masterpiece.It weighs in at 90 kg and is up to their usual incredible standards.The only problem with these kits (apart from the expense) is where do you display them? I have a field of armor 1/6 Panzer and it is massive.You really have to display them on the floor because they are so big and heavy.If you add the motors and everything they tale multiple people to move them around.

In USA there used to be quite a vibrant community of 1/6 tank clubs and manufacturers offering kits and detail sets, but most of them disappeared after the last recession.

Field of armor in USA makes some really nice 1/6 tanks.These are a combination of 20 gauge stamped steel bodies and resin detail parts.They are much more affordable.
The construction is like a huge photoetched set with flat plates of steel that fold up to make the frame of the tank.They really need to be riveted or welded together for strength.
