1/35 IDF Achzarit APC early
Hobby Boss 1/35 IDF Achzarit APC (early) is a plastic kit of the Israeli heavy armoured personnel carrier. The vehicle was created by converting the T-54/T-55 tank. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
The Achzarit was developed in Israel by converting Soviet-built T-54/T-55 tanks captured from Arab armies during the Arab-Israeli wars. The turret, original superstructure and transversely mounted engine were removed to make room for the troop compartment, and the hull received additional armour. The first version entered service in 1988. The vehicle carries a crew of three plus seven soldiers, and its main armament is a 7.62 mm FN MAG machine gun in the Rafael Overhead Weapon Station.
Hobby Boss released this kit of the early Achzarit in 2014. The massive, low hull with its add-on armour stands in clear contrast to conventional wheeled and tracked carriers.
As the most popular scale for military vehicles, 1/35 makes it easy to add figures and accessories for a diorama. Thanks to its T-54/T-55 origins, the model also sits well next to Soviet tank models. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
Nationality: Israel. Period: Cold War, Present day.
