Kaplan Mt (Tni-Ad Service) — Yonkav Cavalry Configuration With Laser Warning System (Scalable 1/144 To 1/100+)

Highly detailed model of the Kaplan MT in its frontline service configuration as used by the Indonesian Army's Yonkav (Cavalry Battalion). This is the "Harimau" (Tiger) as it appears in the field, upgraded and equipped for the rigors of modern combat. This version showcases the real-world enhancements that make the Kaplan MT a true 21st-century fighting vehicle.

This model captures the battle-hardened look of the TNI-AD configuration, featuring all the upgrades seen on active-duty vehicles. The most prominent addition is the Laser Warning System (LWS), with sensors strategically placed on the hull to provide 360-degree protection against laser-guided threats. The model is also outfitted with a full suite of tactical accessories, including additional stowage, crew gear, and communication antennas, reflecting a vehicle ready for extended operations. The RCWS is armed with the standard 25mm cannon, providing a potent anti-infantry and light-armor capability.

An essential centerpiece for any modern Southeast Asian military diorama, a perfect representation of the Indonesian Army's current armored strength, and a critical piece for any serious modern armor collector.

• Accurate representation of the Kaplan MT in TNI-AD service configuration with all key features:
— Authentic Yonkav Cavalry Battalion markings and camouflage
— Laser Warning System (LWS) with sensors on turret and hull
— Upgraded RCWS with 25mm autocannon and coaxial MG

• Default Scale: 1/100.
• Custom Scaling: This model is designed to be comfortably printable from 1/144 up to 1/100.
• Large Scale Option: With the provided thicker parts, this model can be scaled up even larger for 1/35 or 1/32 RC or display purposes, ensuring it remains a robust "Hero" piece for large-scale collectors.
• Skill Note: This is an expert-level kit. While the model is designed to be printable at 1/144, it requires significant skill and a thorough understanding of resin 3D printing to successfully produce a clean result at this smaller scale.

• Suitable for both static display and diorama integration.

Printability:
• EXPERT LEVEL: Not for beginners.
• Requires extensive manual support placement, especially on the RCWS, sensors, and suspension arms.
• Requires a thorough understanding of resin 3D printing techniques, especially for smaller scales.
• Thicker parts for critical components (hull, suspension, RCWS base) to prevent breakage during printing and handling.
• Separate components for easier printing and assembly:
— Hull and turret are printed separately for optimal strength.
— Tracks and suspension are separate for easy painting and assembly.
— RCWS, sensors, and accessories are separate to allow for precise placement.
