5x BMPT-72 Terminator 2 Armoured fighting vehicle
The BMPT-72, also known as the "Terminator 2", is a Russian armored fighting vehicle that was first revealed in 2013. It is very similar to its predecessor, the BMPT "Terminator", including being built on a base T-72 hull. Where it distinguished itself from the BMPT, however, is that the BMPT-72 is a retrofit only vehicle, upgraded from T-72s and other similar vehicles with no new builds.
5x 2S14 Zhalo-S Tank destroyer
Designed by the Soviet Union, this armored personnel carrier was devised as an experiment that added tank destroyer capabilities to a troop transport. The Zhalo-S incorporates various features from the BTR-70, such as lower doors that gives troops more coverage when exiting the vehicle. As the gun lacked penetration power against modern tanks, the vehicle did not enter production.
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.
