[About the actual machine]
The US Army has deployed the MIM-104 Patriot since 1981 as the successor to the Nike Hercules missile.
The PAC-2 was used to destroy the Scud missile fired by the Iraqi army during the 1991 Gulf War.
After that, Patriot with successive updates evolved into PAC-3.
As a masterpiece anti-aircraft missile system, it is deployed and operated not only in the United States but also in Japan and other countries around the world.
PAC-2 was improved compared to PAC-1 mainly to improve its ability to respond to ballistic missiles.
The operation is characterized by the fact that the launcher is equipped with a container that can hold the missile body, and is composed of a fire control device, etc., and is compactly organized.
The maximum range was over 70km and the maximum speed was said to be Mach 5.
In PAC-3, missile bodies have been newly developed to further enhance their capabilities.
【About the model】
From the black label series of dragons that attract attention by choosing unique items around the Cold War period after the Second World War.
This model reproduces the Patriot missile system MIM-104C Patriot SAM PAC-2 deployed and operated around the world on a 1/35 scale.
The PAC-2 SAM missile canister is modeled on the M901 launcher, which is mounted on the M860 semi-trailer.
Canisters reproduce the details of the surface as well as the shape. You can enjoy the presence finish.
The M901 launcher and M860 semi-trailer are also attractive for mechanical reproduction.
Elevation mechanism parts are also reproduced and can be assembled with the canister raised to an angle of 38 degrees.
The semi-trailer is modeled in detail from the bottom of the frame, wheels and axles.
Pattern on the surface of the platform mounted on the upper surface of the trailer is also expressed, and the finish is full of atmosphere.
The four stabilizer arms can be opened or raised.
Furthermore, the electronic unit, diesel generator set, antenna and other equipment that are installed in the semi-trailer are also well modeled.
A new PAC-2 type generator is available for this generator.
Hooks for hanging are also reproduced on the generator.
The trailer tires are made of DS resin with a rich texture. The tread pattern is also expressed delicately.
MIM-104F Patriot SAM PAC-3 kit (BL3563) is also lined up with the full set kit (KITNo.3558) of PAC-1 that already models the M983HEMTT tractor of the towing vehicle.
With the advent of PAC-2, the Patriot missile system family is ready. I'm looking forward to seeing it all together.
