- It is said that the actual battle was deployed in the battle of 1982, and the effectiveness was confirmed.
- Also, vehicles fitted with dozer blades on the front line up also in the vehicle.
- It was active in civil engineering work such as position construction and ground leveling work.
[About the model]
- The model is a plastic model assembly kit which reproduced original vehicle which was improved based on M60 tank equipped by Israel army on 1/35 scale.
- This kit reproduces the type with the dozer blade mounted on the front part of the car body.
- M9 dozer blade is a newly developed part that modeled details and details of its shape and structure.
- Furthermore, it is possible to assemble by selecting either the raised state or the lowered state.
- Of course the turret and the upper part of the car are reproducing the explosive reactive armor called Blazer ERA developed in Israel in detail.
- A unique style like armor wields a powerful finish in conjunction with the dozer blade.
- In addition, the turret whose shape and the texture of the casting skin are expressed in a real way also expresses the style of the Urudan · Cupola to the cupola for the car length firmly.
- The body is a one-piece molded part that uses a slide mold in upper and lower partitions.
- Suspension arms etc are also separate part with solid feeling enough, DS track tightens the feet easy to assemble.
