Panzerzug BP42 Бронепоезд и 2cm Vierlings Flak Gun 1:35

The armoured trains came under the General of Panzer troops in 1941 and they remained mostly tied to security duties. However, by 1943 the armoured trains were increasingly engaged in frontline combat. This led to the development of the BP42 armoured train.

This design borrowed many of the concepts from the Polish train, initially even having the same armament of two 7.62cm guns and two 10cm howitzers. It included infantry cars for the train command and supporting panzergrenadiers. Tanks and anti-aircraft were also included.

This Model was created from scratch using Blender3D, its a big model meant to be printed with an FDM printer in combination with a resin printer, the model is divided into 54 pieces.

The model measurements one printed are:

1:35 or 100% scale 413mm x 126mm x 169mm

1:48 or 73% scale 301mm x 92mm x 123mm

1:72 or 48.6% scale 200mm x 61mm x 82mm

I have printed these parts in an FDM printer for less waste and easier printing:
Base A & B, Body Center, Top, Underside, Front & Rear (you can also print the Panels & Secondary Gun Guard without issue)

The rest have been resin printed so i cant say for sure they will be succesful in an FDM printer.

Please let me know of any issues with any of the files, or any missing piece, also, German 20mm Flak 38 Vierling Gun is now added for free!

For Sla Printing:

This mode has a lot of thin details, make sure you add a fair ammount of supports and angle the tracks so that theyre standing, then rotate to have the least amount of overhangs for better surface finish

make sure to hollow the model and add draining holes when needed, make sure to angle the parts in such a way that there are not flat parts, to decrease sagging on the model.
