Superb tank. The design of the parts, the build, alignment of rivets and the overall integration is perfect. There should be quite a market for this one in Japan.

Would be great if it works in the far east too, but one of my colleagues living in Hong-Kong told me, that the Japanese modelers prefer to do their own stuff. They like the display models more than RC capable (max. only driving). So completely printed tanks are available:

It’s a nice toy, but durable...?!?

But maybe this thread is also seen Japan

Best regards,

Top job! your work never ceases to amaze me.
I would love to know how you make the rivets, but I understand if it's a trade secret .
Keep up the good work.

Thank you!
No that's no secret... I use these rivets (incl. a Ø1mm drill):
