The M44 Ridgeway is a 1st Generation US Army Light Tactical Armor. Based on the US Army's cold war vintage M42 Duster and the MIM-72 Chaparral. This light support frame was often used to defend firebases, airfields, and screen mobile combat formations from aircraft, infantry and soft skinned vehicles alike.
The Ridgeway was an important milestone in frame development as it introduced advanced electronics, automation and the microtization of many core components. It is operated by a crew of two, being the pilot and commander/gunner.
This kit also includes the upgraded M45 Linebacker featuring a larger core and radar guided turret capable of mounting Anti-air missiles, Anti-infantry rockets and the Davy Crockett mini nuke artillery weapon system. Ridgeway also features 4 large off road wheels attached to its foot actuators allowing it to rapidly reinforce critical zones within its area of operation.

Pre-Supported .stl files
Unsupported .stl files
The included .stl files have been extensively test printed. Designed for 1/285 (6mm) scale wargaming and resin printers. All files are watertight, so can also be printed in filament. Easily up-scaled to 1/100 (15mm) by simply increasing the scale of the .stl files 230% in your chosen slicer.
All 6mm mecha stand roughly 35mm-50mm tall. Upscaling a medium-class 45mm tall mech to 15mm will give you a mecha standing roughly 100mm tall.
