Hobby Boss 83856 1/35 IDF Achzarit APC Early Variant Kit  [HB-83856]

Hobby Boss 83856 1/35 IDF Achzarit APC Early Variant - Model Summary

The Achzarit began as a T-54/T-55 chassis taken from captured armour and rebuilt into a heavily protected personnel carrier. Engineers removed the turret and reconfigured the hull to carry troops with improved protection over the original tank layout.

Development and Field Conversion

Introduced in the late 1980s, the early Achzarit installations swapped the original powerplant for a compact diesel and added heavier protection in critical zones. This kit represents those initial field-converted examples with attention to the unique armour profile.
