Israeli brigade/unit insignia markings for tanks and AFVs. 1/72 is a professional decal set dedicated to 1/72 scale models of tanks and armored vehicles of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). This product falls into the decals for plastic models category and was designed by the renowned Star Decals brand, highly regarded among modelers for its detail and high-quality workmanship.

The Star Decals 72-A1173 set focuses on providing historically accurate brigade markings and distinctive tactical symbols of the Israeli army. The decals allow for a realistic recreation of vehicles such as the Merkava, Namer, Achzarit, Centurion, and many others used by Israel from the 1970s to the present day. The markings from this set can be found on combat vehicles engaged in, among others, the Yom Kippur War, Lebanon Wars, Gaza Strip operations, and numerous military exercises.

The decals are made from ultra-thin and durable film, ensuring convenient application even onto the smallest details of 1/72 scale models.
