The tank began development in 1973 and entered active service in 1978. Four main versions of the tank have been deployed. It was first used extensively in the 1982 Lebanon War.

Following the model of contemporary self-propelled howitzers, the turret assembly is located nearer the rear than in most main battle tanks. This gives additional protection against a frontal attack. This arrangement also creates more space in the rear of the tank that allows increased storage capacity, as well as a rear entrance to the main crew compartment allowing easy access under enemy fire. This allows the tank to be used as a platform for medical disembarkation, a forward command and control station, and an armoured personnel carrier. The rear entrance's clamshell-style doors provide overhead protection when off- and on-loading cargo and personnel.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eScale: 1:35\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eItem Type: Static kit\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eModel Dimension: Length: 258.2mm   Width:113.5 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTotal Plastic Parts: 1120+\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTotal Sprues: 16 sprues, upper hull, lower hull, turret and track links\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMetal Parts: chain\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003ePhoto Etched Parts: 2 pcs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReleased Date: 2012-04\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eMore Features: \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe kit consists of  over 1170 parts\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMulti-directional slide moulded lower hull and upper hull\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e252 individual tracks links\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePhoto-etched parts included\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","published_at":"2025-02-05T11:47:59+02:00","created_at":"2023-06-13T19:50:11+02:00","vendor":"Hobby Boss","type":"Scale Model Kits","tags":["Brand_Hobby Boss","Category_Armour \/ Military","Scale_1\/35 Scale","Type_Tanks \/ Tracked AFVs"],"price":109995,"price_min":109995,"price_max":109995,"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":44632070652155,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"6939319224415","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Hobby Boss - 1\/35 IDF Merkava Mk.IIID (82441)","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":109995,"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\/Hobby-Boss---1-35-IDF-Merkava-Mk-IIID--82441.jpg?v=1686678612"],"featured_image":"\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/cdn\/shop\/products\/Hobby-Boss---1-35-IDF-Merkava-Mk-IIID--82441.jpg?v=1686678612","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":32915995132155,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.504,"height":681,"width":1024,"src":"\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/cdn\/shop\/products\/Hobby-Boss---1-35-IDF-Merkava-Mk-IIID--82441.jpg?v=1686678612"},"aspect_ratio":1.504,"height":681,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/cdn\/shop\/products\/Hobby-Boss---1-35-IDF-Merkava-Mk-IIID--82441.jpg?v=1686678612","width":1024}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch1\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1\/35 IDF Merkava Mk.IIID \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHobby Boss 82441\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExcludes all \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/collections\/plastic-kit-model-glues\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eglues\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/collections\/paints\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003epaints\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/collections\/tools-desk-top-storage\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003etools\u003c\/a\u003e necessary to assemble.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Merkava is a main battle tank used by the Israel Defense Forces.
