VIDEO - ARMORTEK - DAK Sd.Kfz. 222 1/6th Scale Armoured Car


Armortek "All Metal" 1/6th Scale Sd.Kfz.222 Armoured Car from WWII.

Model build over a period of about 10 weeks. Over 70 hours were spent painting the final DAK scheme to depict a vehicle which would have been well used in North Africa. Armortek are a UK based Company supplying probably the best 1/6th scale radio control models on the market today.
