Hey guys,
I’m an aircraft modeler making my first steps into armor.
What websites are out there dedicated to armor?
I’m into 1/72 tanks between aircraft builds.
Thanks

My first two builds, both Italeri/ ex-ESCI
Bernie, follow the link in my signature. We have a pretty good site at Armorama.com. I’m one of the forum moderators, editors and maintain the photo gallery of modern US equipment. If you do a search of features at that site, I did an article about building the 1/72 scale Italeri M1and accurizing it. The kit won a trophy earlier this year and the article is called “Building a Bantam Abrams.”
I’ll second Major Robin’s vote on Armorama Bernie.
Also a couple of other sites that I think are great are:
AFV Interiors - a great site but soon to be closed
http://www.kithobbyist.com/AFVInteriors/
AFV News - great all around armour site
http://www.activevr.com/afv/
Tanks 2 Scale - tons of pics
http://www.seedwiki.com/page.cfm?doc=Tanks2Scale&wikiid=92
There’s plenty of sites out there that deal with armour. Easiest way is to pick a vehicle and do a search for it.
By the way … great looking work on your first foray into armour.
Not too bad at all for an armour rookie [;)]
A couple of other good armor modelling websites are:
www.missing-lynx.com
www.track-link.net
In addition to the great websites already noted, if you like braille scale armor, also check out : http://www.burleehost.net/ontheway/default.htm

I’ve got some armor’s pics on my own website and some others not in line.
Good surf
The Federation of American Scientists has a good site, It is hit or miss on some vehicles though most of the galleries are really good for exterior shots and interior drawings.
Thanks for all the help guys. It’s nice to know that the armor and the airplane guys can get along.
