We are very pleased to release our latest code for the revolutionary Crimson Army of Nova Respublik, the PA-3 Python armored suit.
This large suit is armed with four 20mm autocannons, as well as a missile rack holding two heavy anti-material missiles. It also has pneumatic debris punches mounted to its arms for clearing obstacles, and these are often used in close combat as well.
The image below gives some indication of the size of the models:
These are packaged in sets of two suits, with two different leg sets and arm sets (each in different poses), two cockpits, and two missile racks.
In addition to being widely used in the armies of Nova Respublik, where they are crewed by the elite People's Grenadiers, Python suits are also widely provided to their satellites, such as the RPK (Raathist Party of Kym). Above are multiple views of two Python power-armored suits, one painted in Nova Respublik temperate camo scheme (green black and tan), and the other as commonly seen in RPK use, its green primer coat largely untouched, with only a hasty sand pattern painted on the shoulder armor plates. (And so, ironically, RPK Pythons are usually greener than Nova suits! However, Pythons deployed by the RPK Presidential Guard divisions are usually sprayed more extensively with a sand break-up pattern.)
A note on nomenclature – we have chosen to use the FTN (Federal Threat Nomenclature) designation for this suit, the PA-3 Python. The official UPSR designation for it is Crimson Banner of Interplanetary Revolution, but is little used for obvious reasons, the soldiers preferring to call it the Kaban (boar).
Designed by Steve Tyler, painted by Dags. Available now! It's code TTC-2409 in the Nova and RPK ranges.
