TOTW: FV102 Striker

The British FV102 Striker was a highly mobile anti-tank guided missile vehicle developed during the Cold War as part of the CVR(T) family of light armored vehicles. Entering service in the 1970s with the British Army, the Striker was designed to provide long-range anti-armor firepower against the massive tank formations expected in a potential NATO-Warsaw Pact conflict in Europe. Armed with five ready-to-fire Swingfire anti-tank missiles mounted in a box launcher at the rear, the vehicle could engage enemy armor from concealed positions while exposing very little of itself to return fire. Its aluminum armor offered protection against small arms and shell fragments while maintaining excellent speed and cross-country mobility. Crewed by three men, the Striker became well known for its ability to fire missiles indirectly using remote guidance equipment, making it a dangerous ambush weapon during the height of the Cold War.

  • 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.
