Funbox Tank 300 kits

I saw this on YouTube yesterday and was wondering if anyone had any info about it?

From what I've seen it's a diecast mold they've run plastic through similar to DDA and all their Aussie cars. The GWM Tank 300 is a Chinese Domestic (CDM?) Crossover. Looks like it's exported to Australia, South Africa, and several countries across South Asia.

I looked everywhere but all I can find is the diecast versions. I would not mind a kit of this.

Found some info on this one , translated from a Chinese model kit review website.

As mentioned above, this model is the first model produced by the square box model, and it was developed by raising funds on the crowdfunding platform. The model was officially released on December 28, 2023, and officially launched on the crowdfunding platform on December 30, 2023. The crowdfunding price is 199 yuan, and the official retail price is 228 yuan. At the same time, in order to allow more non-professional model players to enjoy the fun of the model. The pre-colored version was released simultaneously, with a crowdfunding price of 368 yuan and a retail price of 399 yuan. The original crowdfunding amount was 200,000, which was completed in just one day after going online. In the end, 1,559 crowdfundings were raised, and the crowdfunding funds were 549,000 yuan. However, due to various reasons, the model originally scheduled to be launched before Q3 2024 was delayed many times and was not shipped until the eve of the Lunar New Year in 2025 this year. If it weren't for the fact that the creator of the square box model was still slightly heard of among the civilian model player group, it is estimated that many people would feel that this project was difficult to give birth. (Okay, the one that is currently in labor is the Sauber C44, so Mr. Liu, please hurry up)

The retail version is not available yet, and the box I have is the crowdfunding version. It has actually been a while since it arrived. I just took it out to take pictures recently. The box of the model is unusually huge, much larger than other 1/24 scale civilian models. It is larger than the boxes of many 1/24 Italian truck tractor models. Even if it is for giving as a gift, it is quite suitable.
