Chinese Type 625E AA Gun & Missile Integrated Weapon System, 1/72 - MENG-Model 72-017

The MENG-Model 72-017 reproduces at 1/72 the Chinese Type 625E AA Gun & Missile Integrated Weapon System, an anti-aircraft system combining cannon armament and missiles. This static injected-plastic model makes it possible to depict a contemporary military vehicle in a compact scale, suitable for collections of armored vehicles and modern vehicles at 1/72.

The Type 625E is designed as an integrated air-defense system featuring multiple engagement means on a single vehicle. Its silhouette combines a wheeled chassis, a rotating weapons assembly, missile launchers, and a radar, making it a particularly original subject for a diorama or a collection focused on modern military equipment.

Once assembled, the model measures approximately 96 mm long, 47 mm wide, and 62 mm high with the radar deployed. The radar can be displayed in the raised or stowed position. The glazing is reproduced using clear parts, while the rotating cannon and missiles have vertical movement.

Assembling a 1/72 military vehicle requires careful preparation of the small parts before gluing. A suitable primer then makes painting easier and highlights the volumes of the chassis, the turret, and the equipment. A light weathering, made with washes or dry brushing, can emphasize the reliefs without covering the details of the whole.
