To bring costs down AND remove the headache of having to repair sprue attachment points on tiny 1/700 scale models, I have been going through my range of military vehicles and forming cages around them. This means that they are held safely together BUT are completely free of those ugly and difficult to repair "umbilical" connections.

In the process, for my PATRIOT MISSILE SYSTEM (deployed) I have expanded the set to include an "Engagement Control Station" vehicle, an "Antenna Mast Group" vehicle and the all important mobile Electrical Power Plant mounted on a HEMTT truck, to allow everything to run. (I had already included a fuel tanker so that things could be kept on the move!)

So now the set is much more complete and more representative of what is actually required in order to have a working missile defence system in place.

The set consequently now has 14 pieces:

1 x ECS (Engagement Control Station) on an M1085 FMTV*** lwb truck
1 x AMG (Antenna Mast Group) FMTV*** Truck based.
1 x HEMTT M977 A2 EPP (Electrical Power Plant) Truck
4 x HEMTT M983 Tractor Units.
3 x Patriot M 901 Missile Launch Stations, ready to fire.
1 x Patriot AN/MPQ Radar Set, deployed.
1 x HEMTT M978 2500 gallon Fuel Tanker
2 x HEMTT M985 E1 Truck c/w 4-round missile load.

Have a look at the price here in my Shapeways shop, I honestly believe you will be amazed at how reasonable it is. Think about having one deployed to defend your port area in that next diorama you are planning.

Happy modelling!
