Thales Hawkei PMV STL 3D Print Model

The Thales Hawkei PMV is a highly detailed 3D printable model of Australia’s premier 4×4 protected mobility vehicle, used by the Australian Army as a lightweight armored transport. This model captures the Hawkei’s distinctive angular armored body, louvered hood, heavy-duty bull bar, multi-antenna array with characteristic arc antenna, rear canvas-covered troop compartment, and detailed undercarriage with tow hooks. Supplied in STL format, it is ideal for scale dioramas, tabletop wargaming, collectors, and military modelers. All six orthographic views confirm high mesh fidelity with panel lines, bolt details, stepped entry boards, and wheel hub accuracy.

Print settings

FDM printing is recommended for larger scale builds (1:35 or 1:18); resin printing is ideal for 1:72 or 1:48 scales to capture fine surface detail such as panel bolts and antenna mounts. Print the main body upright or at a slight rear tilt with supports enabled under the bull bar, side steps, and antennas. Use a 20–30% infill for structural parts and 10–15% for bodywork shells. PLA or ABS works well for display models; for tabletop durability, consider PETG or resin.
