Wanshan Special Vehicle WS51200
A glorious vehicle to conquer your enemies with and strike fear into the hearts of the west!!
The Wiki
Wanshan Special Vehicle, officially Hubei Sanjiang Space Wanshan Special Vehicle Co., Ltd, is a truck and bus manufacturer in China. Its WS-series military trucks are used by the People’s Liberation Army; it is a major manufacturer of transporter erector launchers.
Wanshan has benefited from technology transfers from Deutz AG, Caterpillar Inc. and ZF Friedrichshafen. Several of its trucks (but not more modern designs such as the WS2180 or the WS2250) have been based on MZKT designs, some of which have been updated with more modern engines and transmission systems.
Wanshan supplied WS51200 trucks to a North Korean company; the trucks appeared, as transporter-erector-launchers, carrying missiles, at a North Korean military parade. It has been claimed that this sale violated non-proliferation agreements; although China is not a member of MTCR, its own arms-control rules are similar. The North Korean government is investing in transporter-erector-launchers which are a more difficult target for adversaries, compared to fixed missile launch sites. UN and Asean investigators have concluded that the TELs were Chinese WS51200 trucks legitimately exported to North Korea for lumber transport, with the sales contract specifically prohibiting use of the vehicles for military purposes. The North Koreans illegally converted them into TELs by installing hydraulic gear and controls to erect a missile. Despite being converted to fire a missile, the truck would not be likely to survive damage from the rocket exhaust like a purpose-built TEL, making it a single-use launcher, but North Korea solved this problem by using a temporary launchpad on base of missile that make it possible to separate TEL from the missile during launching & there is no more need for TEL during missile separation .
Controls
-Pitch/Roll to drive the vehicle
-Ag1 to deploy stabilizers
-Ag2 to erect Missile/Launch Pad
-Ag3 to disconnect Launch Pad - Once disconnected, truck can be moved to safe location
-Ag4 to Launch Missile
Missile Controls
Before pressing Ag4, make sure throttle is at 100%. Once launched, missile has pitch/roll capabilities, but I need to redesign the process. This one currently works as well as I hope the real missiles do :P
As Always
A little different than usual. Saw the truck with all 8 of its glorious axles and thought it would be fun to build. The missile needs some work, but it looks pretty good and will definitely add a punch to your next parade. As always, please let me know if you have suggestions for improvement or if there is a vehicle you would like to see recreated. Thank you so much for stopping by to look, and enjoy your parade!!
