1/16 Rc Fennek 4x4

[karel47]

The Fennek armed reconnaissance vehicle, produced by Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW) of Kassel, Germany and SP Aerospace and Vehicle Systems BV of The Netherlands (the ARGE Fennek consortium), has been developed for the Dutch and German Armies.
The prototype vehicle completed field trials in April 2000. In December 2001, a contract was signed for the combined procurement of 612 Fennek vehicles: 202 reconnaissance, 130 MRAT (medium-range anti-tank) and 78 general purpose versions for the Royal Netherlands Army; 178 reconnaissance, 24 combat engineer and four artillery observer versions for the German Army.



Armament

The Dutch reconnaissance vehicles are armed with a 12.7mm machine gun, German vehicles with a 40mm automatic grenade launcher. The Dutch MRAT versions are fitted with the Rafael Spike MR (Gill) anti-tank missile. The gun mount is electrically controlled. The sighting system consists of a periscope derived from the PERI Z l7, which is currently in service. As an option the periscope can be upgraded with an image intensifier or other plug-in modules.

i found also after a long search different retailers wich could deliver the fennek 1/16 3mm styrene CNC cut out plates

http://www.hpk-modellbau.de/modelle.htm

this selfbuildkit 1/16 of the fennek is for 120 euro ... its a nice price ... all pics of the shopmodel










this the fennek i like the most with the stinger configuration

In September 2005, the Royal Netherlands Army placed an order with Aselsan of Turkey for 18 launcher systems for the Raytheon Stinger surface-to-air missile system, to be mounted on Fennek vehicles. The vehicles will replace the Gepard self-propelled air defence guns.
The launchers will be based on the Aselsan Pedestal Mounted Air Defence System (PMADS) in production for the Turkish armed forces. PMADS is a remotely controlled mount with a sensor package including infrared camera, TV camera and laser rangefinder.
The first Fennek SWP (Stinger weapon platform) was delivered in May 2007 and the system entered service in January 2009.









as you all now i was planned to make 3 of them, every sin gle one in another configuration ... so now i buy one and can copy the plates for the other two ... it also will have the wheelcovers closed on the rc model so no water would cume into the electronics ... they advised a tamiya TT-01 chassis



two modifications had to happen

for more 4x4 compability's




the wheelbase adjustment



the end result together , they advice a strong truckmotor for the fennek
