An exceptionally detailed, highly accurate 1:1 scale replica of the PG-7VLT Tandem High-Explosive Anti-Tank (HEAT) rocket, engineered specifically for modern technical training, EOD/UXO identification, and classroom instruction.

This premium model kit includes both full external replicas and highly detailed structural cutaway versions, providing an unprecedented look into the physics and engineering of modern tandem-charge anti-armor technology.

The PG-7VLT is a specialized rocket designed to defeat vehicles protected by Explosive Reactive Armor (ERA). This 3D printable training aid meticulously recreates the critical spacing and layout of both the forward precursor charge and the main primary warhead, making it an invaluable tool for instructors demonstrating how modern infantry countermeasures defeat advanced armored hulls.

Key Features:Dual-Version Kit: Includes the Full Assembly (ideal for field identification, load-bearing drill training, and static displays) and a Mechanical Cutaway (for internal classroom instruction on dual-stage explosives).

True Tandem Architecture: The cutaway version explicitly details the unique physical separation between the small forward precursor charge (designed to detonate ERA) and the massive main shaped charge behind it.

VP Nose Fuze Assembly: Features a multi-part, highly accurate replica of the nose fuze element, complete with realistic threading to allow complete removal from the tip of the rocket.

Stabilizer & Rocket Motor Interface: Meticulously duplicates the mid-section motor integration and the base connection designed to interface with standard rocket-propellant booster tubes.

Technical Context & Operational LogicIntroduced to provide infantry units with a viable countermeasure against modern main battle tanks equipped with reactive plating, the PG-7VLT utilizes a two-stage detonation sequence:

The Precursor Charge: Upon impact, the sensitive nose fuze instantly detonates the small forward shaped charge. This initial blast is designed specifically to trigger and clear away the target's Explosive Reactive Armor (ERA) tile without prematurely compromising the main warhead.

The Main Charge: Following a precise millisecond delay, the larger primary shaped charge detonates against the now-exposed baseline armor steel. This projects a high-velocity metallic jet capable of penetrating deep into the tank's interior.

EOD Relevance: Because of its unique, elongated multi-stage profile, the PG-7VLT is a critical target for modern UXO recognition. Training teams to identify the distinct shape of tandem munitions is vital for safe handling and disposal procedures in modern combat theaters.

3D printing settingsPrinter Type: FDM (Standard 256mm x 256mm build volumes will comfortably accommodate the modular sections of the elongated rocket body when oriented vertically).

Material: PLA or PETG for general structural components;

Layer Height: 0.2mm for the main body sections; 0.12mm - 0.16mm for the fine details on the VP nose fuze, internal cone liners, and threaded interfaces.

Infill: 15% - 20% Gyroid for the structural outer walls; 30% or higher with extra perimeter walls for the threaded interlocking.

Supports: supports are highly recommended for the internal hollow cavities.

Finishing & Assembly Notes:Painting Guide: Paint the exterior rocket body in standard military dark olive drab. For the cutaway view, paint the outer casing cut-walls bright red, the internal explosive components high-visibility yellow, and the dual copper cone liners a metallic copper/bronze color to illustrate the shaped-charge physics.
