This was created by focusing light through 30 kg of artificial rubies which made the whole system very expensive to produce. The energy to power the laser was provided by a generator and an auxiliary battery system. The lenses themselves were able to operate in different environments by moving metal caps closer to protect the lens. It was also equipped with a 12.7mm NSV machine gun to defend itself against attacks by infantry and air._x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ Item No 05542_x000D_ Item Name Russian 1K17 Szhatie_x000D_ Bar Code 9580208055428_x000D_ Scale 1:35_x000D_ Item Type Static Kit_x000D_ Model Brief Length: 213.5mm Width: 103mm _x000D_ Total Parts 1060+_x000D_ Metal Parts copper cable_x000D_ Photo Etched Parts 1 piece_x000D_ Film Parts n/a_x000D_ Resin Parts n/a_x000D_ Total Sprues 22 sprues , lower hull , upper hull and turret_x000D_ Released Date 2015-06_x000D_ More Features - multi-directional slide molded hull w/fine details_x000D_ - multi-slide molded turret with fine detail_x000D_ - 192 individual track links_x000D_ - photo-etched parts included
