Eduard 36237 IDF Merkava Mk. IIID Basket 1/35 Hobby Boss

Eduard 36237 IDF Merkava Mk. IIID Basket is a high-quality set of photo-etched parts dedicated to the Israeli main battle tank Merkava Mk. IIID model in 1/35 scale by Hobby Boss. The product was created with careful attention to the finest details by the renowned Czech company Eduard, well known in the modeling world for its precision and innovative solutions for modifying plastic models.

The Merkava Mk. IIID is an advanced version of the tank that forms the backbone of the Israeli armored forces (IDF – Israel Defense Forces) during the "Cold War" period as well as in modern times. Merkava tanks have participated in numerous military operations in the Middle East – including the 2006 Second Lebanon War and protective operations within Israel and its borders. The Mk. IIID features advanced modular armor and modern optoelectronic systems, making it one of the best-armored tanks in the world.

The presented Eduard 36237 set in 1/35 scale is aimed at the most demanding modelers who seek exceptional replication of even the smallest details. The baskets on Merkava tanks are a distinctive feature of the turret, serving as extra storage for the crew and providing protection against shaped charges. The offered accessories are made from thin, high-grade brass sheet metal using the photo-etching technique, allowing for an exceptionally realistic appearance and very thin edges, which cannot be achieved with traditional plastic accessories.

A highly recommended product – especially for enthusiasts of Middle Eastern themes and modern armored vehicles.
