OH! Thank you very much for your purchase, this is a bold attempt!
We will ship it to you as soon as possible, please check if the sub-parts are intact when you receive it.
If any part is bent due to logistics, you can pour hot water over it for 2 seconds, then straighten it out and let it dry, and it will be back in shape.
The production process requires the use of sharp-nosed pliers to dismantle the brackets of the sub-parts, so you can prepare the tools in advance.
We look forward to seeing your work!

This will be my first big work with 3DP forms on this size. I’ve done small accessories and attachments previously. So I will have a lot to learn. I thank you for the advice. I think the SLA resin recess will help me.
Our model show is in February/yi-si. So I have some time to make adjustments.
Thank you- 谢谢
I have received the kit. Thank you (Xie Xie) for the care in packaging everything, and lord those barrels are many! I’m sharing the pics here and in my own post if anyone has questions.
-
First impression is improved detail on turret roof, and overall very good printing. Everything is straight!
-
The hull sideplates also have VG detail.
-
The sprues are easily removed.
-
I was unable to discern an RWS (remote weapon station) for the mount molded to the roof.
Overall a VGC 3DP kit from which to build a “what if’ scenario for our 2025 show.
Thanks!

I’m having great fun!
Here is my placekeeper page, which I shall update periodically.
I’ve a question, please! When you designed the hull, which model kit or scans did you use for the 3DP program? I’ve got a desire to use an existing hull, and movable track and running gear. Knowing your source will enable me to find a hull with a turret ring sized to fit the ~63mm turret ring diameter (minus the tabs).
Kind thanks!
I’ve got some suggestions on how to open up the hull race ring diameter if none of the kits out there are suitable out of the box.

Suggestions and Feedback are a gift. I’d like to think that the printer (bananatank) used a “pattern tank”. Hence my search.
I’m an old modeler who hadn’t built for two decades. I retain some skills, but my age also makes my handwork a bit dicey/tricky at times.
Thanks!

I get what you’re saying , it seems unlikely their hull was designed from scratch with all the 1/35 scale kits out there .

Thank you for your recognition. The diameter of the 63mm seat ring is derived from the data of Meng M1A2, but the resin model has not been adapted to models from other brands. I referred to the modeling of War Thunder and Armored Warfare games to create 3D printing drawings. If you need to replace the wheels and tracks, manual adaptation is required. Please handle with caution.

See below!
And I think the other Query has additional info about several kitforms.
