Thank you.

No.I dont feel insulted.Sorry if i seems to be triggered.

This is a lot of money for plastic tank.I agree.

But there are ones like this 3D printed, plastic kit (not RTR) 1/16 for 1800USD.

Tamiya Sheridan PLASTIC kit (not RTR) in scale 1/16 costs about 880€ here.
This small Tamiya kit is mass produced with molds, i am sure you know.

About my build...
There was 430 hours of printing only for the 5 biggest body parts.
480 hours spent with printing tracks.
At least 500 hours with other parts.
Lot of pain when cleaning tracks.Lot of postprocessing.
I spent 150€ only for painting/surface finishing
35€ only for material for that 8 rubber rims on the wheels.
...and printing them 4 days, of course.

1500€ is definitely not enough for all this work, in my eyes.

I see how people underestimating plastic tanks, especially 3D printed (because of the f*cking PLA)
I think its mostly because of the design.Not material.There are bad steel models too.Same like plastic models.
I dont hear any people talking about their Tamiya tanks permanently broken, even when they are plastic.
They are just runing.Good design is good design.
Steel is durable, of course.But try to do guns rifling with steel...
