1/35 Tamiya Israel Merkava MBT ( THC 35127)

Thanks to its manhandling of the Syrian-operated Soviet T-72 during the 1982 Lebanon War, the Merkava became a well-known and feared presence. This precision plastic model assembly kit recreates the Merkava, breathtakingly capturing its form including angled spaced armor across the hull and wedge-shaped cast turret with 105mm rifled gun. Details such as the thermal cover, side skirts, machine gun and more are depicted with aplomb. A commander figure is also included.
