1/35 Merkava Mk.2 w/ Full Interior & Workable Tracks
Border Model 1/35 Merkava Mk.2 with fully detailed interior and functional tracks is a detailed 1/35th scale model of the Israeli main battle tank. Introduced in the 1980s, the Merkava Mk.2 built on the successful concept of Israel's first indigenous tank, bringing improved protection and firepower. The kit offers a precise design of the interior, chassis and armament and allows you to create an authentic replica of one of the most famous tanks of the Israeli Defense Forces.
The Merkava represents a uniquely Israeli approach to the development of main battle tanks. Its design, begun in the 1970s, is a unique approach to the development of the Merkava. It was designed in the early 1970s with maximum emphasis on crew protection - the engine was placed in the front to increase safety, and a compartment was created in the rear for transporting airborne troops or wounded. The first version of the Merkava Mk.1 was introduced into service in 1979 and quickly gained a reputation for durability and reliability.
The Merkava Mk.2, which appeared in 1983, brought a number of improvements. The tank received enhanced ballistic protection, new blocks of reactive armour, an improved fire control system and improved equipment for urban combat. The Mk.2 became a key machine for the Israeli army during the Lebanon conflicts, where it proved its durability and effective armament in the form of the 105mm gun.
The Border Model 1/35 scale kit offers a fully detailed interior of the tank, from the engine compartment to the fighting compartment to the ammunition. Movable tracks, detailed chassis and fine details of armament and equipment are also included. The model provides a unique insight into the construction of the Merkava Mk.2 tank, creating an extremely realistic replica that will dominate any collection of modern equipment.
The package does not include the paint or glue needed for assembly.
