I'd rather a BT over a KV-2 .

I've wanted an M113 for so long, but just not sure about this one yet. Going to wait to hear the reviews of it first. I would have bought Clark's BT-7 also...

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.
