Scale model Tiger tank taking some HESH rounds.

A chap we know does this sort of thing for a living. Thought it might be of interest.

Interesting indeed, how big is the tank?

Hi ovenpaa,

Its an all metal 1/6th scale, kit that you build..or blow up :lol:

Those Armortek tanks are excellent, I always wanted to build one but having seen how much they cost I'd think twice about blowing one up...

Very cool. Was this fired from a rifle? What is the legal situation with exploding ammunition? I know in the US you can own ammunition with up to 1/4 ounce of explosive - any more and you need to pay $200 and file a tax stamp for each and every round, I assumed in the UK there'd be a blanket ban going back to the 1920s.

Hmmm... these things certainly cost more than my car did and then people shoot them!

Certainly looks realistic though. Welcome to the forum magpiespyro

Very interesting, but I couldn't bring myself to do that to one of them.

I'd love one of the Armourtek tanks but

1) I couldn't afford one,
2) The garden isn't big enough!

Some times they are not shot or blownup http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGDL2Lbk ... detailpage
