The first vehicles of this type appeared in 1988. The drive is provided by a single diesel engine Continental AVDS 1790-5A with 908 HP.

For those times, they were modern cars, but the experience of the Israeli army during the Yom-Kippur war (1973) showed some of their disadvantages. To remedy this, they were modernized - the Magach 6 cars, which performed well during the intervention in Lebanon in 1982. In order to further increase the potential of the M60 vehicles, it was decided in Israel to modernize them again and create the Magach 7 vehicles. Compared to its prototype, the M60A3 tank, the Magach 7 has many changes. First of all, it has a new power unit, a completely new fire control system (similar to the Merkava III tank), new tracks and transmission, and a new reactive armor applied to the turret, hull and side shields. In the course of use, three development versions appeared: Magach 7 A (Alef), Magach 7 B (Bet) ora with Magach 7 C (Gimmel). Vehicles of this type have been systematically replaced in line with Merkava tanks, but are still in the reserve of the Israeli armed forces.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2025-06-06T21:37:05+02:00","created_at":"2021-04-13T15:03:54+02:00","vendor":"Academy","type":"Scale Model Kits","tags":["Brand_Academy","Category_Armour \/ Military","Scale_1\/35 Scale","Type_Tanks \/ Tracked AFVs"],"price":79995,"price_min":79995,"price_max":79995,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":39665999839400,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"8809258924913","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Academy - 1\/35 Magach 7C \"Gimel\"","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":79995,"weight":0,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/cdn\/shop\/products\/Academy-1_35Magach7C_Gimel.png?v=1665142805"],"featured_image":"\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/cdn\/shop\/products\/Academy-1_35Magach7C_Gimel.png?v=1665142805","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":30973559865595,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.59,"height":459,"width":730,"src":"\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/cdn\/shop\/products\/Academy-1_35Magach7C_Gimel.png?v=1665142805"},"aspect_ratio":1.59,"height":459,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/cdn\/shop\/products\/Academy-1_35Magach7C_Gimel.png?v=1665142805","width":730}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch1\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1\/35 Magach 7C \"Gimel\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAcademy 13297\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExcludes all glues, paints and tools necessary to assemble.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Magach 7 is a modern Israeli Main Battle Tank (MBT).
