Product Description

- This is a plastic model assembly kit that reproduces the M113, an armored personnel carrier deployed and operated by the Israel Defense Forces, where infantry figures are indispensable for personnel carriers, on a 1/35 scale.

[About the actual vehicle]
- The M113 is a troop carrier developed by the United States after the war.
- When it was formalized in 1960, it gained high praise for its ease of use and reliability, and its number increased.
- The vehicle body is characterized by the use of aluminum armor, and the vehicle weight is less than 13 tons, allowing it to be dropped in the air and run on water.
- It was also possible to accommodate 11 soldiers in the cabin with a crew of 2 people.
- The undercarriage was equipped with torsion bar suspension, and the maximum speed was 64km/h.
- In addition to the vehicle as a basic troop transport vehicle, various derivative types were also created based on the vehicle body, such as a mortar mounted type, a missile launcher, and a command vehicle.
- The wide range of development is also a testament to the excellent basic design.
- Since its first deployment, it has been constantly updated and continues to be in active service, and is operated not only in the United States but also in about 50 countries around the world.
- It became a masterpiece, with over 80,000 units produced including derivatives.
- Israel is also one of the countries that operates the M113, boasting the second largest number after the United States.
- Many vehicles had unique modifications, and many were active in the Middle East War.
