Academy 13267 - 1/35 I.D.F. Main Battle Tank Merkava MK III: Modeller Notes

The Academy 13267 1/35 scale rendition of the I.D.F. Main Battle Tank Merkava MK III offers New Zealand modellers a faithful representation of the original vehicle. The kit balances fine surface detail with assembly complexity to suit hobbyists wanting a historically accurate result.

Significance and Authenticity

Developed in the late 1980s, the Merkava MK III stands out for its crew-protection focus and distinct armour arrangement. This model conveys those features through detailed mouldings that help achieve an authentic silhouette.

Construction and Finish Guidance

The finished model displays well on its own or as part of a small scene. Builders should budget time for painting, seam filling and realistic weathering to bring out the panel lines and surface textures.
