KTO Rosomak Infantry Fighting Vehicle
The KTO Rosomak is the current standard wheeled infantry fighting vehicle of the Polish military. The KTO designation stands for Kołowy Transporter Opancerzony (wheeled armored carrier), while Rosomak means wolverine in Polish. The name was chosen after a poll in the Nowa Technika Wojskowa military magazine.It was selected as the winner of a contest for the future Polish IFV in December 2002, defeating two competitors in the process – the Pandur II IFV by Steyr-Daimler-Puch (Austria) and the Piranha IIIC by MOWAG (Switzerland).
The Rosomak is essentially a modified Finnish Patria Armored Modular Vehicle (AMV), also known as the XC-360. The XC-360 has its roots in the Sisu Defence XA-180 APC, which in turn was developed in the early 1980s to replace the Soviet BTR-60PB in Finnish service.
The vehicle is equipped with the Italian OTO Melara Hitfist-30P turret. It is a two-man turret, armed with the American 30mm Mk.44 Bushmaster II autocannon and a coaxial 7.62mm Polish UKM-2000C machinegun. Both weapons can be elevated to +60 degrees and depressed to -10 degrees. The turret is made of aluminum with ceramic elements and additional protection is provided by an SSP-1 Obra-3 smoke grenade launcher system. It was developed from the older Italian Hitfist-25 turret.
The most significant change is a reduction in turret height compared to the Hitfist-25 variant – this Polish demand was issued to make the vehicle fit the C-130. The turret can also be equipped with two single-tube Spike-LR Israeli ATGM launchers – the Spike missile is said to have the ability to defeat 700mm of RHAe.
The gunner sits on the right side of the vehicle, aiming the weapon systems using Kolsman DNRS-288 day/night sights, an Italian Galileo Avionica TILDE FC thermal imager and a laser rangefinder. The combat weight of the turret is 2850kg.
Cleaning Information
Some part cleanup will be necessary. The 3D printing process uses a waxy substance to support certain part features during the printing process. Although the parts are cleaned by Shapeways, some waxy residue may remain. It can be safely removed with water and a mild aqueous detergent like "Simple Green" using an old, soft toothbrush, Q-tips or pipe cleaners. During the printing process, liquid resin is cured by ultraviolet light. Microscopic bits of resin may remain uncured.
Let your parts sit in direct sunlight for a few hours to fully cure the resin.
Water-based acrylic paints meant for plastics is strongly recommended. Other paints, especially enamels, may not cure on Frosted Detail 3D-printed plastics.
Use dedicated model sprue cutters to remove parts to minimise the risk of damage to parts.
