Zapad 84

Step back into the final decade of the Cold War with Zapad ’84 — a new collection of highly detailed STL files for 3D printing mid- to late-1980s Soviet armored vehicles. Featuring iconic machines like the T-80 main battle tank and BTR-80 armored personnel carrier, each model is designed for exceptional printability and accuracy, perfect for tabletop gaming, modeling, or display.

TOTW: BMP-1P

This is an add on for the BMP-1 model to add an upgraded turret.

The BMP-1P was an important modernization of the original Soviet BMP-1, introduced in the late 1970s to address shortcomings revealed in early service. Retaining the classic low-profile silhouette and amphibious capability of the baseline vehicle, the BMP-1P focused on improving firepower and survivability. Its most notable enhancement was the replacement of the outdated Malyutka launcher with the more reliable, easier-to-use 9K111 Fagot or 9K113 Konkurs ATGM systems mounted on a rail atop the turret, giving the infantry fighting vehicle far better anti-armor capability. Additional upgrades included improved smoke-discharger arrays and modifications to internal stowage and protection. The result was a more capable and flexible IFV that strengthened motor rifle units throughout the 1980s and became one of the most widely fielded BMP-1 variants across the Soviet and Warsaw Pact forces.

  • Incredible 3D Models

    3D designer Bob Mackenzie is a talented artist. Because Bob is also a wargamer he understands the subject. This leads to 3D Models that are unparalleled when it comes to detail and accuracy. Furthermore Bob prints in 3D so he understands how vehicles need to be made to create the ultimate model for your game table.

  • Pre-Supported

    You will receive both the unsupported and pre-supported STL  files optimized for all three scales: 15mm (1:100), 20mm (1:72), and 28mm (1:56). Of course, the files can be re-scaled to any size if your favorite is not on the list.

    All the pre-supported files, in each of the three scales, have been printed successfully on an Anycubic Photon printer.

    Every model has been printed successfully.  Of course, 3D printing has many variables, and printers have different parameters.  Unsupported STLs and Lychee files will be included so you can tweak the supports for your situation.

    We have not tested these models using an FDM printer. However models of a similar quality for our previous BAOR kickstarter have been nicely printed with an FDM printer and there is not reason why the Soviet models should not also print to a similar standard.

  • 3 Different Scales

    All files are optimized for all three scales: 15mm (1:100), 20mm (1:72), and 28mm (1:56). Of course, the files can be re-scaled to any size if your favorite is not on the list.
