Q:
|
What scale are your model kits produced in?
|
| A: |
Most Accurate Armour kits are produced in 1/35th scale. (Often called 'large scale') But we do have the 'FORTRESS-44' range in 1/76th scale and a few museum type AFV models in 1/15th scale. We also make 1/48th scale vehicle kits for Aircraft modellers.
Our Armour Distribution operation also stocks selected model ranges in 1/76th, 1/72nd (Small scale) and 1/35th scale.

| Q: |
Why is the 'Export' price Lower than the 'EC' Price? |
| A: |
All EC orders include VAT Tax (presently 20%) which we pass on to the UK government. All Export orders may have Tax and import fees applied at local rates when the order arrives in the destination country. In many cases this can be much more than 20%.

|
| Q: |
Do the models come Built and painted? |
| A: |
 
Our precision scale models are supplied in 'self-assembly' kit form, comprising resin castings, etched brass details and (in some cases) full colour waterslide decals and other rod/tube or rope materials.
We do provide full building and finishing instructions for you to assemble and paint to your own satisfaction. We also supply modelling tools and paints.
These products are not toys, and are not suitable for children.

What are the kits made off? |

Kits are a combination of parts in Polyurethane resin (which replicates fine detail, and we use the very best resins available), and Etched brass (which is the ultimate medium for fine thin details, screens and mesh) Other materials are supplied in the kit as required. Visit the FEATURES section for the full design story. |

Sorry for this question, but it is a very common one! The answer is NO! Our AFV kits are not suitable for remote control, although our submarine models are, and have been adapted by experts for sensational RC presentations. |
