The rest of the details look nice, but after seeing additional warping on my 3D printed SU-152 conversion, I'm weary of 3D printed tanks. The IS-7 is 3D printed, but it is really thick and has supports printed in. I hope it doesn't deform in the TX sun or I will be pissed.
Warping of what?PLA?
If yes, its normal.
I warn against using it whenever I can.
You should never print RC tanks out of the PLA.

With some more serious materials, like PET(G) and ASA, it will be safe up to 85-90°C.
One of my T-14 is in Australia, completely printed with ASA, it can withstand temperatures up to 92°C.
No warping issues, as far as i know.Almost comparable with the classic injected plastic (ABS).

These OKMO kits are printed with the nylon powder on the professional laser sintering machines, if i understand them correctly.
This is the most durable 3D printed plastic available.Much different from the desktop FDM printers (especially equipped with the PLA).
Printed like this, it must be fully comparable with the classic plastic RC tanks in terms of durability.Maybe even more durable.
I can only guess it's PLA that as Armoured Models printed it. I'm going to heat it up, reform it, and pour some resin as a backer on it to see if I can get it to survive the sun.

Unboxing video. Detail level is excellent, but some manually moving parts are very thin and weak. Handle with care.

Looks great. What material is it? Is it brittle?
