Coolbank has said that won't be the case. I just watched the Coolbank video. The Coolbank model doesn't have small return rollers like the Tongde version.

Coolbank has no return rollers.

I can see the return rollers in this pic...

However you're right, this is not the same mold at all. The Coolbank seems crisper and with better details, but it has ugly Philipps screws on the side skirts

Herman!
Good Morning! Thank you for the link to this article. I was reading up on the Matildas Jungle War Service last night but an article like this is much more useful. Interesting and detailing what changes were made to the Tank!
regards and stay safe!
