K21-XC8 Light Tank
The new prototype light tank was revealed in 2013 during IDEX exhibition held in the Abu Dhabi. It was jointly developed by CMI Defence of Belgium and Doosan DST of South Korea.The new light tank is a combination of the K-21 infantry fighting vehicle chassis, mated with the newly-developed Cockerill XC-8 lightweight concept turret. This turret uses some technology of the Cockerill CT-CV turret. This new tank can be fitted with 105-mm or 120-mm high-pressure gun. This combination provides significant direct fire capability, based on relatively light and mobile chassis. Due to its lighter weight this tank is more strategically and tactically mobile, comparing with main battle tanks.
The Cockerill 105-mm gun uses a wide range of ammunition, to suit tactical situation. It fires all standard NATO 105-mm rounds. Maximum indirect range of fire with HE rounds is up to 10 km. This gun is also compatible with Cockerill Falarick 105 gun-launched anti-tank guided missiles. These missiles are launched in the same manner as ordinary rounds. This missile has a semi-automatic laser guidance with tandem warhead. The Falarick 105 penetrates no less than 550 mm behind ERA. This missile is used to engage heavily-armored vehicles at long ranges.
The Cockerill 120-mm smoothbore gun is intended to meet a more specialized anti-armor requirement. It fires all standard NATO 120-mm tank ammunition. This gun is also compatible with Falarick 120 gun-launched anti-tank missiles. These missiles have an effective range in excess of 5 km.
Both guns are fitted with a bustle-mounted autoloader, which permits a three man crew. Both guns are fully-stabilized and use the same advanced fire control system.
Composite materials were extensively used in the hull design in order to save weight wherever possible. The front arc provides protection against 30-mm armor-piercing rounds. All-round protection is against 14.5-mm armor-piercing rounds and artillery shell splinters. Vehicle is also fitted with automatic fire suppression system.
The crew includes commander, gunner and driver.
Vehicle is powered by a turbocharged diesel engine, developing 750 hp. This engine is more powerful than that, used on the K-21 IFV. Vehicle has a hydropneumatic suspension and advanced running gear. The new tank retains its amphibious capability at full combat weight. Only minimum preparation is required in order to ford water obstacles. Automatic floatation bags are activated before entering the water. On water this tank is powered by its tracks.
Later a similar K21-105 light tank was introduced. It was developed by the same companies. It is a combination of the K21 IFV with an older CT-CV 105 HP turret, armed with a 105-mm gun.
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.
