Fast attack boat GEPARD Class 143A

 

The Class 143A Fast attack boat was a very heavily armed unit of the German Navy. These units were in service with the Navy between 1982 and 2016. The hulls with 4 propeller drives, which were still made of wood at the time, could sail through the water at up to 40 knots.

 

The model

 

This set is a trial set. This means that you will be provided with a selection of components made by us. This way you can see whether you can handle the components and the 3D printing of such components. You can also make sure of the quality of the parts as a tangible quantity.

 

The parts come from the same longitudinal region of the boat, so they can be built on top of each other.

 

ATTENTION: If you intend to buy the entire boat, the parts should not be glued together as they overlap in the original model for stability reasons.

 

The parts can be printed with conventional PLA. However, we recommend something more "elastic" material, such as. PLA+. This has better flexibility and makes the boat less prone to breakage. Printing with ABS or other materials is of course also possible.

 

ADVANTAGE OF THE TRIAL SET

 

If you buy this trial set, after your successful purchase you will receive a separate email alongside the order confirmation with a voucher code for the speedboat model in the amount of the purchase price you paid. This means that if you make a positive decision to buy the speedboat, you will not suffer any disadvantages in the purchase price.

 

our advantages

  • This model is not designed for any specific scale. However, note that the quality of detail varies with scale. The smaller your model, the more details are lost.
  • Any number of copies - Buy the product once and use it for your entire fleet.
  • Decide for yourself which materials you use for printing.
  • The limits of printing are determined by your 3D printer. The build space of your printer determines the maximum possible scale.

 

RC compatibility

 

The later model can be used as an RC boat. Corresponding foundations for servos and motors are present in the fuselage and are sometimes printed into the structure as normal. Separate mounting plates with prepared mounting holes for the front sections are also included and can be printed out if required.

 

Note that this set is not RC capable, just the later completed speedboat.

 

In the pictures you will find a table in which the boat is converted into various scales. For the scales 1:40 and 1:50 it is listed which dimensions are intended for any fittings.

 

Corresponding fittings for the boat must be purchased separately.
