Merkava Mk III

This 1:35 scale model represents the powerful Merkava Mk.III, one of the most advanced main battle tanks of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), designed for maximum protection, firepower, and crew survivability.

Introduced in the early 1990s, the Merkava Mk.III features a 120 mm MG251 smoothbore gun, a 1,200 hp diesel engine, improved suspension, and modular armor protection. Its unique front-engine design provides extra safety for the crew and allows rear troop or casualty transport.

The Academy kit includes finely detailed surfaces, separate link tracks, movable turret, complete secondary armament, and optional open or closed hatches.

High-quality decals reproduce IDF armored brigades’ markings with desert sand camouflage typical of the Negev.

A modern, precise, and imposing model that embodies Israel’s armored warfare excellence.
