3D model description

1/16 RC VK-16.02 Leopard.

Always check the latest version on https://github.com/edumardo/VK-16.02-Leopard# STL files for 1/16 RC VK-16.02 Leopard

With this files you can 3D print and build a RC VK-16.02 Leopard tank. The Leopard was a German prototype of light reconnaissance tank, finally canceled and none was built.

Required non-printable parts

Electronics:

  • Gearboxes long shaft.
  • For turret rotation, you can choose one:
    • 1 x Continuous rotation servo, like DM-S0090D.
    • 1 x Standard Heng Long motor unit.
  • 2 x servos for recoil system and elevation, like MG90S.

Hardware:

  • 14 x 5mmx2mm round neodymium magnets.
  • 2 x M2x5mm screws.
  • 8 x M2x8mm screws.

From Heng Long 3879 Panther or 3869 Jagdpanther:

  • 2 x sprocket drive wheels.
  • 2 x transmission covers (optional).
  • 2 x idler wheels.
  • 10 x wheel arms.
  • 10 x wheel arm springs.
  • 10 x arm screws.
  • 10 x wheel bolt cover (optional).
  • 6 x double wheels.
  • 4 x single wheels.
  • 2 x tracks (each one reduced to 67 links).
  • 1 x rotating ring, the big one.

How to build

Follw the assembly documents, preferably in order:

  1. hull/hull assembly.pdf
  2. suspension/suspension assembly.pdf
  3. rear stuff/rear stuff assembly.pdf
  4. upper hull/upper hul assembly.pdf
  5. turret/turret assembly.pdf

And the all parts STL files:

  1. hull/hull - all parts.stl
  2. suspension/suspension - all parts.stl
  3. rear stuff/rear stuff - all parts.sql.stl
  4. upper hull/upper hull - all parts.stl
  5. turret/turret - all parts.stl
  6. VK16.02 Leopard - all parts.stl (entire model)

You can check the all-parts files and ungroup it to get the individual files with tools like 3D Builder or Meshmixer. Then, combine them if you want.

Additionally, you can follow the model development and construction on the following forums:
