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: 1230+\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTotal Sprues: 18 sprues, upper hull, lower hull, turret and tracks\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReleased Date: 2012-10\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","published_at":"2023-06-13T19:50:07+02:00","created_at":"2023-06-13T19:50:09+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":44632070521083,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"6939319224767","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Hobby Boss - 1\/35 IDF Merkava Mk.IIID(LIC) (82476)","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-LIC---82476.jpg?v=1686678609"],"featured_image":"\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/cdn\/shop\/products\/Hobby-Boss---1-35-IDF-Merkava-Mk-IIID-LIC---82476.jpg?v=1686678609","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":32915995066619,"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-LIC---82476.jpg?v=1686678609"},"aspect_ratio":1.504,"height":681,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/cdn\/shop\/products\/Hobby-Boss---1-35-IDF-Merkava-Mk-IIID-LIC---82476.jpg?v=1686678609","width":1024}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch1\u003e1\/35 IDF Merkava Mk.IIID(LIC)\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHobby Boss 82476\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExcludes all \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/collections\/plastic-kit-model-glues\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eglues\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/collections\/paints\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003epaints\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/collections\/tools-desk-top-storage\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003etools\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\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.
