Get your hands on a durable, scaled 3D printed model of an Australian Defence Force (ADF) armoured vehicle, crafted with accuracy for practical use in tactical displays and training sessions. Built with PLA and/or TPU, this mud model kit features authentic AusCam like Olive Green, Blue force (bluefor), or Red force (redfor), matching the rugged look of ADF vehicles in field exercises.
Each model is designed to meet the demands of orders groups, collectors, and educators, adding realistic detail for strategic planning, orders delivery, and Australian military displays. Ready to use right out of the box, this model is a reliable choice for terrain models and military-inspired dioramas.
Best Use: Orders groups, tactical displays, military collectors, and educational setups.
Add a piece of Australian military precision to your setup. Perfect for collectors, tactical trainers, and those interested in ADF-inspired models.
The HQ-9 (Hong Qi-9) is a Surface to Air missile (SAM) engineered to attack airborne radars, essentially a surface-to-air anti-radiation missile (ARM) that can attack single or multiple electromagnetic radiating systems in the 1-18 Ghz band. It is also effective against fixed-wing aircraft, rotary wing aircraft, and UAVs. The HQ-9 has limited success against cruise missiles and ballistic missiles. Sources conflict in identifying the organization for combat of the HQ-9 battery and battalion. We assess that the following is true: A HQ-9 battery will usually have 8 TELs, 1 HT-233 Radar, and a TWS-312 CP. In addition, associated support vehicles (generator, missile resupply) may be seen in the area. The battery can operate independently of the battalion as listed above with some degradation in search capability. This degradation will be eliminated when the organization is deployed as a battalion as this will bring additional radars to include the Type 120 Low Angle Search Radar and the Type 305B Radar. The battalion formation will include 3 batteries (24 TELs) though some sources state that the battalion can control 48 TELs. The battalion also deploys with a site survey team which does not deploy with the battery, missile resupply, and its own TWS 312 Command Post. It is safe to assume that other mission and soldier support items will be found in the area of the HQ-9 formation. The HQ-9 has been designed to be able to use several of the Chinese radars. The assessment above is the most likely deployment course of action.

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
PLA
Temperature:
Keep it cool! PLA starts to soften at around 60°C (140°F), so avoid placing it near heat sources or leaving it in hot cars.
Sunlight:
Prolonged direct sunlight can cause fading and potential deformation. Try to keep it out of long sun exposures.
Cleaning:
Gently wash with warm water and a bit of mild soap using a soft cloth. No harsh scrubbing, please!
Handling:
Handle with care—avoid excessive bending or dropping it, as PLA is rigid and can crack or break.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry place to maintain its shape and longevity.
TPU
Temperature:
TPU is built to be flexible, but still avoid extreme or prolonged heat. It’s more resilient than PLA, but unnecessary heat can still degrade it over time.
Sunlight:
Try not to leave TPU items in direct sunlight for too long, as UV rays can fade the colors and slowly affect the material quality.
Cleaning:
Just like PLA, a quick clean with warm water and mild soap works great. Use a soft cloth and don’t be too rough.
Handling:
Enjoy its flexibility! However, even though TPU can bend, continuous stretching or heavy impacts might wear it out faster.
Storage:
Keep it in a cool, dry spot away from harsh elements to maintain its flexibility and appearance.
