Kaplan Mt Apc (Harimau) — Indonesian Infantry Fighting Vehicle With Stk 50Mg Rcws (Scalable 1/144 To 1/100+)

Highly detailed model of the Kaplan MT APC, a modern Indonesian Armored Personnel Carrier developed by PT Pindad. Featured prominently at Indo Defence 2024, this vehicle represents the pinnacle of Indonesia's indigenous defense manufacturing. Known by its local name, Harimau (Tiger), this configuration showcases the latest advancements in tactical mobility and firepower.

This model accurately captures the Kaplan MT in its APC configuration, featuring the robust hull, detailed suspension, and the advanced Remote Controlled Weapon Station (RCWS) mounted on the roof. The RCWS is armed with the STK 50MG, a 50-caliber machine gun also manufactured by PT Pindad, providing superior long-range suppression capabilities.

An essential centerpiece for any modern Southeast Asian military diorama, a perfect addition to your collection of Indonesian armor, and a critical piece for showcasing the growing capabilities of the Indonesian defense industry.

• Accurate representation of the Kaplan MT APC with all key features:
— Distinctive "Harimau" (Tiger) livery and markings

— Modern composite armor plating with visible panel lines
— Fully detailed suspension and road wheels
— STK 50MG RCWS with detailed 50-caliber barrel and sight system

• 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, tracks, 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 roof are printed separately for optimal strength.
— Tracks and suspension are separate for easy painting and assembly.
— RCWS and gun are separate to allow for articulation and avoid support artifacts.
• Assembly Instructions:

Assemble the suspension and road wheels.
Attach the tracks to the hull.
Assemble the hull and roof sections.
Install the RCWS on the roof.
Attach the STK 50MG to the RCWS.
