Product Description

――This book commemorates the 50th anniversary of the development of the Merkava tank in 1970.

――Israel, keenly aware of the need for domestic tanks, decided on a domestic MTB (main battle tank) development plan on August 21, 1970, and Merkava MkI was born from there.
――In 2020, which is the 50th anniversary of this development decision, we will deliver the latest information on the current MTB of IDF (Israel Defense Forces), Merkava Mk4 / 4M, as the 4th photo book.
――You can enjoy the latest appearance of Merkava Mk4, which is being strengthened by directly incorporating the battle lessons, in full color.
――Of course, the details are also taken up, and the new mine roller is also posted firmly.
――It is a photo book that can be asserted as a perfect material for the production of Merkava Mk4 / 4M modeled by model makers such as Meng Model.
