Yeah, if you open the link provided in post #1329, you'll also see the tank about.

To me, the model is about 90% similar to the type 99. I wonder if these models can move?

Ah, looks like I missed all the action here.

But for future reference, it was obvious that the tank in the original picture wasn't the real thing because of the transporter.

Real tank transporters have lots of little wheels under the tank they are transporting to take the weight. There is just no way that flatbed could be supported a 60+ ton tank like that between the wheels. Well, maybe they could have re-enforced the thing enough to take the weight, but that would have made the thing far more expensive and heavier than just putting wheels under where the tank would sit, so it would have made no sense to design it that way.

Also, the rear wheels housings would not have allowed the tank to drive itself onto the flatbed. No tank transporter would have ever been designed like that, and I don't think anything other than a dedicated tank transporter could safely take the weight of a modern MBT (or else there would be no need for dedicated tank transporters if any old civilian flatbed would do).
