    Thanks. Yes, I have been working on an IS-7. I bought it from RC Drupelu off Facebook before the designer of the Kran and IS-4 made his. It's actually pretty far along in the build. I'm trying to figure out which tank I'm going to finish next. I've vowed to finish projects this year and the IS-4 was one of the first major projects I 3D printed myself. I'm not sure if I've posted a build thread here on the IS-7. I think I only posted it on RC Universe (https://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/rc-...lu-rc-7-a.html) and on RCTankWarfare (https://www.rctankwarfare.co.uk/foru...ic.php?t=32864).

    Japanese Type 4 (not the 5) heavy tank is actually being prototyped for release soon to 3D print. I do like obscure tanks and having tanks that are fairly rare in the community. Like I don't own a single Tiger or King Tiger and I own only one Sherman version other than my British Firefly. :) The IS-4 was actually produced in decent numbers, but was very short lived. Tank destroyers are fine for battling, but I kinda want them to look decent meaning that I want the parts that show to be fairly complete. That's a "me" problem. Being that most are open topped, the means more work. I have a Hellcat in the works, but I'm still trying to work out some details with it. Inkor's Hellcat design is pretty basic in the turret so I've been trying to find a way to detail the inside of mine without loosing the recoil and elevation. Being a full time IT guy, my tank builds tend to drag on a bit as I only have so much time to work on them.
