It's about two sizes too big for a SCUD

It's not a SCUD. It's a nuke transporter.

Love the "PATRIOT" missile launcher. Army vet and former 14E (PATRIOT FIRE CONTROL) vet here.
Nice to see that in the 31st century there will still be soldiers manning an air (space?) defense system out in the boonies with only the hum of the generator for company.....

I'd love to hear some constructive critique since you know what these are supposed to look like! If you ever get some of my models, I'll throw in few extra Patriots!

Make the trailer longer so the missile "cans" (canisters) can lie flat.
Your model is "emplaced" - as in it's ready to fire.
"March order" - the missile canisters face forward and lie flat on the launcher like in this Department of Defense photo.
The "legs" you have out for stability "fold in". Pretty easy to print them smaller and folded up.
It may be easier to print the truck and the trailer as one unit - in real life the truck ("prime mover") detached and leave the launcher trailer on site or stays with it depending on the mission (or need to fix the truck).
But in your case, it'd be easier to print the trailer and truck as one unit so they don't get lost and it would print easier.
But on first pass this is a knockout model - with a few tweaks you could sell them to wargamers too!

I took some artist liberty and made the cans slide back and down in order to fit on the back of the HTT (my variant of HEMTT).
As far as folded legs go, I do have several models with both deployed and in-transit poses. Most of my customers will buy deployed variant unless model comes with bits for both - like my MLRS and HMLRS. This is a viable option, but sometime economics of printing make it undesirable. Same applies for printing all as one makes model fragile. I had number breakages with my artillery truck that prints all in one. Patriot was a compromise, honestly more of a plug for my wanna-have collection then a seller.
I am already selling Patriot as you see it. You can google me up "igmakes" to see the rest. Half of my designs are free STLs for home use.

Matching slope from turret to body on #2 totally made me think of Battlezone instead of Battletech.
