Chinese Type 59 medium tank 1:16RC model

In June 2024, I received a 1:16 RC tank model sample produced by a new factory, a Chinese Type 59 medium tank. The manufacturer's Chinese name is "Hu BuGui", and I don't know what English name it will adopt in the future. I took some videos to show the basics of the model and share them with you now.

Cool tank.

I was wondering if the Type 59 is an export model of the T-55?

[@user-zc2vv8sf2i]

The Type 59 is a model copied and produced by China after the Soviet Union sold it to China.

@user-zc2vv8sf2i Thanks for sharing this information, and I didn't know that. Was the T-59 an export version of the Soviet T-55?

When will this be available?

I feel that the manufacturer of this tank is not very professional in terms of product design or product marketing.
It has been sold in China, but the price is not competitive compared with Henglong tanks.
