Thats always been their MO.
That said, I am waiting to see their new Mark IV kit. Its supposed to be "all metal" so will be holding my breath until I can pick it up & check one for myself. I've learned long ago not to handover any cash until I see with my own eyes. Much easier for me given we are in the same city.
Here's the english advert for details. Supposedly "metal" just like the Mark IV so wonder what really comes in the box.

I’m surprised nobody here has said a peep about the OKMO M2A3 Bradley

And they will probably release them when the war is over.

I like the DKLM RC subject matter of the M113 and now the Bradley. I just want to see the reports of some users before I would even think about building one. They are pretty expensive and after adding shipping to the US...more so. Bugs me that the M113 doesn't have the right tracks on it. I think I'd be more apt to buy the V100 they showed with the M113. I'm so torn because there are so many new IFV and AFVs coming. I wish I had the money to buy them all and the patience to wait for them...

Oh my bad Kaczor. I figured there would be a lot of discussion about the bradley here as I figured just about everyone would want one. I've never had an entire 3d printed tank, I've had 3d printed parts. From what I've seen of the 3d printed kits, they look like they will require hours and hours of sanding.

It is what it is so I don't blame them for that since other manufacturers here are doing same but he's the first out the gate. That said, at least their owner is rooting for the good guys unlike many Chinese I know who follow state propaganda.
