In order to increase sales, Cadillac Gage began producing a vehicle that became the best known member of the V series – the V-150. The Cadillac Gage V-150 was somewhere between the V-100 and the V-200 in terms of size and weight. It was smaller than V-200, but it had its improved suspension, allowing it to carry over one ton of cargo or weaponry more than the V-100. Along with this increase came the ability to carry heavier weaponry and the V-150 proved to be the most versatile platform of the V series. Hundreds were built and sold to various customers in Asia and Africa – in fact, its production continues to this day, a true testament of the ruggedness of its design. This vehicle is especially popular in Saudi Arabia (which has over one thousand V-150S vehicles), while Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia and Philippines have over a hundred each as well. The only operational use of this vehicle was in the Persian Gulf where several Saudi V-150s were destroyed by the Iraqi forces and the Kuwaiti forces lost their V-150s too. In total around 3000 have been built to this day.
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.
