BMD-1 Armoured Fighting Vehicle
The
BMD-1 is a Soviet
airborne amphibious tracked
infantry fighting vehicle, which was introduced in 1969 and first seen by the West in 1970. BMD stands for
Boyevaya Mashina Desanta (Боевая Машина Десанта, literally "Combat Vehicle of the Airborne").
[13] It can be dropped by parachute and although it resembles the
BMP-1 it is in fact much smaller. The BMD-1 was used as an
IFV by the
Soviet Army's airborne divisions. An improved variant of the BMD-1 was developed, the
BMD-2. The BMD-1 also provided a basis for the
BTR-D airborne multi-purpose tracked APC.
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.
