1/72 scale Dutch KNIL Braat Overvalwagen armored car, World War Two, WW 2, Indonesian Independence War, 3D printed, wargaming, modelling

These vehicles were known apparently as the "Braat" Overvalwagen, for "type B". Basically they looked more stocky and bulky than the Homeguard "Type A" model, and well-armed. They were designed by K.N.I.L. Engineer Captain Luyke Roskott in 1940 and showed a well-sloped, welded hull. The hull was 20 mm (0.79 in) thick at the front glacis, sides and rear were 12 mm (0.47 in) thick (double 6 mm/0.24 in armor plating), in order to deflect or stop small arms fire. The main cab counted one driver armored hinged panel and a side vision slit, while the commander position received a three-faced casemate housing a cal.30 Browning machine gun, air-cooled or liquid-cooled .303 Vickers (according to photos), and a rear hatch. The rear compartment was open-top and could house up to 12 equipped soldiers. The sides received square or diagonal-shaped extensions, giving more room for a central gun. The headlights were internal, protected by armored shutters. The tires were also partly protected by front and rear-wheel armor plates and of all-terrain configuration. These could be armed with a variety of weapons like Vickers machine guns, Browning .50 water cooled machine guns for AA duties or a 37 mm naval gun.

This model is 3D printed and meant to be an economical alternative to wargamers wanting to expand their armies, it can also be used to build dioramas.

This model is made in thirteen parts, hull, axles, gun mounts, guns and tires. The model will be sent with support material still attached for better safety during transport, cutting and cleaning will be needed before assembly. The model is printed using PLA and gluing is needed, if adding accessories to it superglue type glue will be required or other epoxy glue.

The pictures are from one sample model, the models are similar in grade of detail and after print cleaning. The model is dispatched in a postal cardboard box with protective material inside for better safety.
