This model
represents Joint Assault Bridge (JAB) system
mounted on M1 tank chassis. In general it is
almost identical to its bigger sister, the
1:16 scale JAB model,
except it is 66% size and it's diorama base is
slightly different.
Like the
1:16 scale JAB model
this one is also fully operational,
demonstrating a full cycle of the bridge
deployment very close to reality. For the
purpose of demonstrating the bridge deployment
the model is mounted on a diorama type base with
a "ravine" filled with concrete anti-tank
obstacles.
To create this model we used the same digital
tooling that was generated for the
1:16 scale JAB model,
only the parts were rapid prototyped 66% of the
original size.
The model is packed in a heavy duty military
grade plastic cast transit case with a custom
foam lining. |
