Well that's an easy fix, just scale it up to 1/5!

An observation concerning modern MBT's.

When scaled to a reasonable size (i.e. 1:8 scale) these tanks will offer
quite a challenge to build for R/C Tank Combat.  The shallow hulls and
turrets will offer little room to fit the required equipment and batteries.
If you want to get into the hobby quickly and with the least hassle, a
modern MBT may not be the best first choice for a model.
