The IDF Achzarit Armored Personnel Carrier (APC) is a testament to innovative military engineering, originating from the transformation of the Soviet T-54/T-55 tanks. Captured during the Arab-Israeli wars, these tanks were repurposed by the Israeli Defense Forces, removing the turret to create a troop carrier with enhanced protection and mobility.
Developed in 1988, the Achzarit features modifications that include a new compact diesel engine, replacing the original Soviet power unit, and the addition of reactive armor for increased battlefield resilience. This model captures the early type of this APC, providing enthusiasts with a detailed representation of its historical significance.
The Hobby Boss 1/35 scale kit offers over 750 parts, promising a rewarding build for seasoned modelers. The model measures 220mm in length and 106mm in width, ensuring an accurate scale replica suitable for display alongside other military models. The attention to detail in the chassis and armor plating makes it a standout piece for any collection.
