My search-fu isn't the best-I've been looking for other mention of this kit on the web without success. But I did turn up a 1/12scale "Tesla Trooper" scheduled for a March release. That doesn't appear on the Border Models website, as far as I can tell, but the company website doesn't look like it's been updated sine 2021... :icon_sleep:

Squadron is now pretty good; they show the Tesla Trooper, but not the tank: https://squadron.com/model-kits/armor/?Brand=Border__Model&filterPage=1

Also, searching just for Red Alert models to shorten the list: https://squadron.com/search-result/?search_query=red%20alert

I wonder if that box art is supposed to represent the PLA taking over Taiwan. The tank behind the ZTZ99 looks like the rear of an Abrams. Border has had some provocative boxtop artwork in the past.

Ah, that makes sense. I was wondering just who the People's Liberation Army were meant to be 'liberating' this time  ::)

I doubt the people of Taiwan would be cheering.
