BRAND INITIATIVE / TÜRKİYE

WHY WAS YABGU CREATED?

YABGU Tactical Bricks is being developed to transform military and industrial vehicles into collectible models through system integrity, technical function and realistic proportions; to support local designers; and to build a sustainable Türkiye-based model-building ecosystem.

Original YABGU models, selected products offered through partnerships and future official licensing programmes will come together under shared quality, support and evaluation standards.

PRODUCT ARCHITECTURE / 03

Three development paths. One evaluation approach.

YABGU product families are presented with clear ownership and development status.

CONCRETE BRAND COMMITMENTS

Why YABGU?

MP

Missing-Part Assurance

A recorded support process for verified missing or defective parts.

ST

System • Technic • Realism

Each model is assessed for structural integrity, technical function and realistic representation.

PE

Developing Partnership Ecosystem

We develop long-term collaboration models with designers, manufacturers and rights holders.

BS

Building-System Compatibility

Connection geometry compatible with standard building-block systems is targeted.

QS

Quality and Support Process

Defined control procedures cover materials, part fit, packaging and user support.

YABGU EVALUATION FRAMEWORK

ST-R EVALUATION SYSTEM

ST-R analyses a model’s structural system, technical functions and level of realistic representation within a shared evaluation framework.

EXPLORE THE ST-R SYSTEM
S

SYSTEM

Structural integrity, connection logic and building discipline.

30 POINTS
T

TECHNIC

Function, movement, mechanisms and technical solutions.

30 POINTS
R

REALISM

Proportion, silhouette and subject-representation accuracy.

40 POINTS
SILVER75–84
GOLD85–94
PLATINUM95–100

A model is assigned an ST-R class only after prototype and verification processes are complete. Unconfirmed projects display neither scores nor badges.

Minimum sub-category thresholds for Gold: Realism 32, System 24 and Technic 24.

YABGU SCALE STANDARDS

YMSS and YISS

Scale information is published with the relevant standard code only after project verification.

YMSS

YABGU MILITARY STANDARD SCALE

The scale-classification system developed for YABGU military models.

PRIMARY REFERENCE / YMSS-17 / 1:17View Details
YISS

YABGU INDUSTRIAL STANDARD SCALE

A category-based scale system developed for industrial, construction and heavy-duty vehicles.

EXAMPLE / YISS-20 / 1:20View Details

BUILD COMPLEXITY / 01–06

OE Difficulty Levels

An OE level indicates assembly density, the number of sub-assemblies, technical build complexity and the experience expected from the builder. It does not indicate product quality or prestige.

OE-1

BEGINNER

OE-2

EASY

OE-3

INTERMEDIATE

OE-4

ADVANCED

OE-5

EXPERT

OE-6

SPECIALIST

OE-6 is used only for exceptional projects requiring unusually complex building and assembly. Unconfirmed projects do not display an OE class.
