Military Wheels MW7240 BM-14-17 Soviet rocket system Scale 1:72 Plastic Model Truck Kit

BM-14-17 is represented in this 1/72 scale plastic model kit from Military Wheels, depicting the Soviet multiple rocket launcher system mounted on a military truck chassis during the Cold War period.

The BM-14 system was introduced in the 1950s as a mobile artillery rocket launcher designed to provide rapid area fire support. Mounted on a truck platform, the system allowed quick deployment and repositioning, which reflected the growing importance of mobile rocket artillery in mid-20th century military doctrine.

BM-14-17 - Soviet Multiple Rocket Launcher System

The BM-14-17 variant used a rack of launch tubes installed on a truck chassis to fire 140 mm rockets. Systems of this type were widely operated by the Soviet armed forces and several other countries, forming part of mobile rocket artillery units during the Cold War.

For modelers: Truck-mounted launcher systems benefit from careful alignment of the chassis, wheels, and launcher frame. Building the truck and rocket launcher as separate subassemblies can help maintain clean details and proper geometry before final assembly.
