Merkava Mk.IID Academy 1/35 Scale

Scale: 1:35

Box Dim. 400x270x70 mm.

The Merkava (Hebrew for "carriage") is an Israeli main battle tank designed in 1974 and entered mass production in 1979.

The design team worked under the supervision of General Izrael Tal, one of Israel's most prominent armored personnel carriers.

The Merkava is the result of the Israeli army's experience in the Six-Day War and the Yom Kippur War. The Israel Defense Forces commissioned the design of the Merkava to ensure an independent source of heavy combat equipment.

The vehicle's designers were primarily guided by the idea of ​​​​the vehicle's survival on the battlefield, which is why the Merkava is distinguished by innovative armor that perfectly protects crew members and, in case of damage, allows for immediate replacement. The concept of placing the engine in the front of the vehicle is also unique.

Four production series were created: Mk.I, Mk.II, Mk.III, and Mk.IV, which has been in production since 2001.

 Compared to previous versions of the Mk. III, the suspension has been significantly improved, thus improving performance and crew comfort.

A 120 mm cannon was also installed, instead of a 105 mm cannon.

 

The Mk.III version also features the CVIS command system, which significantly increases its combat value. The armor, guidance, and battlefield observation systems have been improved in the latest version. According to the fairly unanimous opinion of experts, the Merkava and its subsequent modifications give the Israel Defense Forces a decisive advantage over the armored potential of its Arab opponents.

 

Technical data (Mk.II version): length (with gun): 8.63 m, width: 3.7 m, height: 2.66 m, weight 60 t, engine power: 900 km, speed (on road): 46 km/h, armament: 1 x 105 mm smoothbore gun, 3 x 7.62 mm calibre and a 60 mm mortar.
