Our Focus: 1/6 Scale Tank Models

We started by designing 1/16 scale RC tanks, but over time we decided to expand our portfolio and added the 1/6 scale.
Ultimately, it proved difficult for a small company to develop models in two different scales at once.

Therefore, in 2026, we decided to focus exclusively on the development and production of the 1/6 scale tank category.
This scale allows our strengths to truly shine – it gives us a much greater opportunity to showcase details and realism, which we can push to the extreme.

Important Notice for Our Customers:

1/6 Scale Physical Kits Only: Starting from 2025, every new project is engineered solely for the 1/6 scale and is available only as a physical kit.
We no longer release STL files for new models.

Legacy Products: Our original 1/16 scale kits and all STL files released before January 2025 remain available in the shop as part of our legacy collection.

Core Principles of Our 1/6 Scale Tank Models

1. Detail and Realism.

This has always been our highest priority. It often requires us to design new technical solutions and use new materials and manufacturing technologies.
If the armor of a real vehicle is too close to the drive axis, we design a new drive system instead of moving the armor further away from the wheels than it is on the real vehicle.
If it is necessary to spend a month researching a single machine gun that is only a small detail on a 1/6 scale tank, we do it.
Over the years, we have moved from analyzing a few hundred photos to exploring archives, searching for original drawings, and using 3D scans of real vehicles and parts.

2. Serviceability / Repairability.

All mechanical parts are designed to be uninstalled and replaced for maintenance or repair.
With our 1/6 scale tank models, it will never happen that a mechanical part is damaged and remains unrepairable.

3. Mechanical Durability.

Every screw in our model is screwed into a metal nut. Every mechanically rotating part is mounted in bearings.
We NEVER use plastic gears to drive the tanks and we never use rubber bands from tires for suspension.
All models feature metal gears for the drive and the entire drivetrain is metal.
All models (except those based on the Pz.38(t) chassis) use metal suspension. In general, the use of metal parts in our 3D printed 1/6 scale tank kits is significantly higher than usual.

All mechanical parts are printed from durable materials such as Nylon or ABS, with a high infill percentage and a large number of perimeters.
We do not save on the quality or quantity of materials. Mechanical parts are massive and oversized, designed for long and trouble-free operation.
We never use self-tapping screws or threads directly in plastic parts. Every screw has its own nut.

4. Accessibility.

With the same or greater amount of detail compared to full-metal models, our 1/6 scale tank price remains at 25-30% of their cost.
They are available as both static and RC models. The static model is cheaper, easier to build, and looks great.
Our RC models are significantly lighter than metal models, making them much easier to handle and transport.

High quality details.

We study every detail extensively to make accurate models.

Massive and durable.

Designed for easy maintenance.

Designed for RC functions.

Large number of moving parts.

3D printed RC tanks since 2016

Since 2016, we have been improving our know-how and constantly evolving.
Each Warprints model takes at least a year to develop.
We prefer quality over quantity and do not underestimate any detail.
Our work is based on extensive vehicle research.
Today, restoration teams and collectors of historic vehicles help us find the correct dimensions and shapes.
For our latest model, we have collected 2,927 photos and 12 books (and the number is still growing).
Our goal is to create realistic 3D printed RC tanks that combine historical accuracy with engineering.
Each model is designed for both display and full remote-controlled operation.
