I'm guessing 3D printed?

If I weren't freezing my assets until after I calculate my income tax (remember the Clash singing something like Will They Pay or Will I Owe :? sorry, bad joke) , I would message the seller and ask if he could cook up some 1/18...it'll be interesting to see if theses are one-offs or more is on the way...

it's an unusual scale the seller has chosen. Not much interest in 1/20 armour. Usually you see 3d printed 1/18 and 1/16 offered (often both are offered by the same seller)

This seller would be wise to switch to one or both of those scales....assuming it is 3d printed of course. I've contacted him with my suggestion.

ok, so I heard back from the seller very quickly. They are indeed 3D printed so he said he will make it whatever size I want. I suggested he advertise that fact in his listings.

Those things are way inaccurate.
They look like caricature armor.

yes I noticed that.....at first I couldn't figure out if the t-34 was supposed to be a/76 or /85.

However I've been talking with the seller and he is very eager to learn and improve. He plans to do 25 additional tank models. With 3D printing it's pretty easy to make improvements to the model and change the scale. He isn't very knowledgeable about tanks in general or WWII but he'll learn....he's quite keen.

The Cromwell looks to be the best of the bunch.
