kitbash for my comic book.

this is a 1:35 scale plastic model using parts from Tamiya, Revell, and Trumpeter models. it depicts a vehicle from my fictional comic storyverse.

...

"The K45-A3 is the Republic's heavy tank destroyer, designed to annihilate Imperial forces at ranges exceeding all but the most powerful of Imperial armaments. Mounting a super-velocity 120mm gun mated to a massive autoloader mechanism, it can expend all three rounds from its ready-magazine in under six seconds. Combined with a heavily armored binocular gun sight, the K45 fires its rounds at 5,500 FPS, at an accurate range of up to three miles.

Its driver-controlled defensive 8mm machinegun is almost an afterthought by comparison.

Utilizing a unique crew control mechanism, the tank is operated entirely from within the hull, leaving the turret to be occupied by the gun, autoloader, and small crew ingress/egress tunnel. Even the driver sits well behind the front of the tank, protected by layers of heavy armor.

The K45's resilience is legendary, rivaling that of the Imperial IL29 - typical Imperial tactical calculations for destroying a K45 result in 12 medium tanks to one K45 - a number that has often been woefully insufficient."

Very nice work, 3 miles seems a bit short range for a gun of this size. if i'm not mistaken the challenger tank has gotten a kill at over 2 miles and it's an MBT. The Panzerhaubitze 2000 has a range of around 45km and it appears smaller than this one. The cannon also looks a bit more than 120mm but it's hard to tell without a size reference.

again, very nice work, love the details.

the pzh2000 gets 45 km because it's firing on a parabolic arc. it's an arty gun.

and thanks :la:

Wow, A mix of a Panzerhaubitze 2000 and a Churchill. I hope the canon is not to heavy for the tank.
