Inside the Academy 13286 - 1/35 Merkava Mk.II D: Tank modelling focus

The Academy 13286 - 1/35 Merkava Mk.II D Model Kit provides a compact but detailed depiction of the Merkava Mk.II D. Its characteristic profile and defensive features are modelled to help hobbyists examine the tank's layout and construction in miniature form.

Service History and Model Accuracy

Introduced in the early 1980s, the Merkava family was tailored to the operational requirements of the Israeli forces. The Mk.II D upgraded protection and fire-control capabilities, and this kit reflects those changes through accurate external detailing that appeals to history-minded builders.

Construction Notes and Display Potential

Expect a rewarding build that requires patience and basic modelling tools. The injection-moulded parts are designed for close alignment, and a careful paint and weathering routine will elevate the finished model for shelf display or as part of a larger collection.
