[MOC] Lego P12A3 "Wolverine" Plighia Main Battle Tank

[ParmBrick]

The P12A3 "Wolverine" is a latest generation Main Battle Tank, produced by Troula Manufactory, a company adhering to the APMIP of the Defense Department of Plighia. It was conceived as a future national MBT that will support and, over the years, supplant the old MBT dated to the Cold War. The P12A3 is equipped with the latest technological innovations: a new "York C233" 125 mm autoloader cannon, a 1500 HP diesel engine, a displacement of about 60 tons, Gunshot Detection System, Laser Warning System and various smoke dischargers. A CROWS station is positioned on the turret, and the two periscopes equipped with advanced optics and IR sensors can be identified. It also has an advanced APS (Active Protection System) system, codenamed "HOMELAND", capable of intercepting missiles, grenades and projectiles on the fly, like its rivals TROPHY and AFGHANIT. But the biggest novelty of all introduced on this MBT are the new ERA plates. These ERAs, called "ADAMANT", are much more advanced and functional than their predecessors, in fact they are capable of blocking not only normal projectiles and missiles, but also the new generations of "tandem" projectiles designed to penetrate normal ERAs. This greater protection, however, has the side effect of making the new MBT heavy by several tons and therefore making it less agile and faster than the factory features.

This is really cool, I love the turret

Do you have instructions?

[ParmBrick]

Thank you for your compliments! Unfortunately no, there are no instructions, I never do them when I make my mocs, I know that it would be appropriate to use programs that allow you to compile them, but, honestly, I never liked them.

Thank you very much!! They're simple and strategically placed black billboards with a superior LED lighting source, a real DIY photoset xD. The turret is inspired by K2, Merkava, LeClerc. While the rest of the tank is inspired by T84 and LeClerc.

I like how the cannon is perfectly straight

... usually the lego tanks have the defect of having the cannon curved downwards giving the idea of being very fragile
