This is a derivative of Jarlangs excellent 1/72nd scale model of the Italian's Fiat 626. This transport was used extensively by the Italians and also by Axis allies Germany and Bulgaria.
I started with the file, upsized it to 1/56th - 28mm scale. I did some modification to the file -
redid the grill to ease printing
cleaned up the Hull base to increase strength and a solid base for printing
added wipers to windshield
added the underside spare wheel
created a pintle mount Fiat 8mm MMG for an optional arming of the transport (both historical - please see the pic - and game wise).
I drafted this file and print at the request of a friend who is expanding his Italian arm, thus it is not printed; in fact it is not even glued; the pieces are just "press fitted" for the pics.
I did a file for the cargo bed tarp cover but have not printed it. I can not see any issue with it printing though. The recipient of this model did not request a cargo cover.
Please note the CAD screen capture pic - the spare wheel must be affixed before the truck bed is affixed. Also please make sure you put that cargo bed on correctly. The trail gate should be obvious but mistakes can happen, so ALWAYS test fit before gluing!
Rafts:
Doesn't Matter
Supports:
Yes
Notes:
I would use 0.15mm setting for the carho bed and cover, 0.1 or 0.15mm for the Hull and 0.1 for the wheels. please used extra fine 0 0.06mm for the MMG due to its fine size.
