The Unimog 1700L is the quintessential NZ Army truck. It’s capability and usefulness have been difficult to match over decades, and is still a pillar of NZ military transport. Deep wading depths have been very important to flood disaster response within NZ and overseas.There are currently 220 Unimogs within the NZDF fleet. The NZDF has two models the U1700 General Service and the U1300 Ambulance. Unimogs had a wheelbase of over 3.8m and an unladen weight of 6872kg
This is a single vehicle model, provided with and without tread on the tyres (for detail printing at larger sizes).Each model is provided/designed at 1:10 scale, with tread-free model for printing at small scales.Where possible, the models have been designed from manuals, and detailed walkaround photos. I have been as accurate as I can, I have also made design decisions to thicken up some components for durability when printing.Overall, this model is intended for smaller scale printing.Most models are test printed in resin (anycubic photon mono, grey standard) and pre-supported in 1:72, 1:100, 1:150(ish), 1:200. Pre-supported resin print files are provided, but feel free to support your own model in your printer. I make no guarantees for the presupported models. They worked for my test printing, I suggest you detail your own supports to suit your printer and settings.
Unimog military trucks are in service in various forms across the globe.
