does  rotomolding have any advantages? Why not just use GRP? Seems like
its extra  effort for similar results.

i don't really see any benefits to using a rotocast for any of the parts of  
the tank.
 
tanks parts such as the turret and body just wouldn't cut it with the  
rotocast, you'd be better off making egg shells with it when it comes to this  
sport/hobby.
 
items just as engine grill vents, mufflers, road wheels, turret hatches and  
the likes can be cast in a tough resin such as Task 3 and will hold up just  
fine.
 
for the hulls and turrets, make them out of fiberglass, metal plating,  heavy 
vacuum form plastic or (the standard) wood, just don't waste your time and  
money on the rotocast
