So what do you buy the person who has everything? Many people search the internet for presents and original ideas but seldom find something which really answers this question. Until now! Whilst browsing the web the remote island team came across a site which offers something unique, something very large and something that few have but everyone would want... Presenting Mark 1 RC Tanks:

So who are Mark 1 Tanks and what do they offer? - Mark 1 Tanks are suppliers of 1/6th and 1/8th Russian manufactured Radio control Tanks exclusively to the UK and the rest of the world. The 1/6th scale Tanks are the German King Tiger, Tiger 1, Panther, Jagdpanther. Russian T34/85, JS 2m and IS 152, and the British / American Sherman Firefly. Coming soon the German Maus, and British Challenger 2. The 1/8th scale Tanks are the Panther, Jagdpanther, T34/85, T90 and out soon M1A1 Abrams.. All Tanks are 12v electric with twin motors. All Tanks are suitable for Multi-Function Radio control systems. To see all of the available options look at the web pages of each Tank on their website.

Want something even more specific? A tank model to a particular scale but can't find it! Send them your specifications including; model/type designation, year of manufacture (actual tank), maker, armament, wheel and track details and desired scale. They will provide a quote for the production of the unique bespoke radio control model tank of your dreams!

More than just a manufacturer! It's easy to tell from the Mark 1 website that tanks are simply their passion.. Military experts and beginners alike can browse the history of individual tanks, compare specifications of models and their full scale counter parts and choose optional build components such as Gun Fire Simulator Pyrotechnic Gun Fire Simulator and Smoke Generators with custom exhaust pipes. Check out the quality control section of the website which lists in detail their commitment to testing procedures, quality control and after sales services. And of course, If your serious about purchasing one of these tanks you won't want to miss out on the Mark 1 RC tanks open days (pictured below) offering a unique chance to observe some of the most original and largest RC tanks currently manufactured in action.

Just browsing the web for fun? There's plenty of fun to be had on the site for all tank lovers. Take the "Tank Quiz" and test your knowledge of these beasts and guess which (if any) are the real thing. For all RC fans and tank lovers it's a recommended visit and definately a Remote Island favourite.
