Model Description:
This download contains a highly detailed model of an FV101 "Scorpion" Light Reconnaissance Tank. Documentation and references for the real vehicle were rigorously studied to make the model as geometrically accurate as possible without sacrificing printability or durability.
The model is designed for resin 3D printing comes natively in 20mm (1/72) scale and includes a supported version for this size. Furthermore, the files are pre-hollowed, reducing the material requirements, improving the probability of print success, and ensuring no voids are present within the geometry. Special care should be taken with the mirrors when removing the vehicle from its supports and handling.
The file is designed to be detailed enough to hold up well at larger scales however, including the common 28mm (~1/56) scale. Larger scales will have to be manually supported at present, however a future goal of TCR designs is to include supported files for larger scales, as well as a less-detailed version designed to function on FDM (filament) printers.
The model at its native scale took roughly 3 hours to print on an "Anycubic Photon Mono 4K" printer and has the following dimensions:
Length - 2.36" (60mm)
Width - 1.2" (30mm)
Height - 1.14" (29mm)
Historical Description:
The FV101 Scorpion is a British light tank introduced in 1973 and remaining in service. Roughly 3,000 vehicles have been produced in that time and have seen use in several wars throughout its tenure. The vehicle is equipped with a low velocity 76mm L23A1 cannon designed to fire high explosive ammunition, as well as other utility rounds. The Scorpion is very mobile, with a travel range of 756 km and the ability to travel as fast as 73 km/h. The vehicle does not feature much armor, being made of aluminum and measuring only 13mm (~1/2") thick.
