Academy 13227 1/35 Merkava MK.IV LIC - Modern Armour in Scale

The Merkava MK.IV LIC reflects a design optimised for conflict environments requiring protection and versatility. Academy 13227 recreates that design at 1/35 scale, providing Australian modellers with a solid base for detailed builds.

Accurate Parts and Surface Detail

Academy supplies finely cast components that capture the Merkava MK.IV's complex shapes. The kit shows realistic panel lines, turret features, and other external fittings that respond well to weathering techniques.

Construction and Fit

Fitment is good across the main assemblies, making the build process straightforward for those with intermediate skills. The kit also supports upgrades such as metal gun barrels or etched brass accessories for improved fidelity.

Collection and Diorama Uses

Finished, this Merkava MK.IV LIC model suits both standalone display and integration into dioramas depicting contemporary armoured operations. Its compact footprint makes it an easy centrepiece.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: High-quality plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Not included, recommended for enhanced realism
Build time varies with skill and finishing level; a straightforward assembly can take several weekends, while full weathering and detailing may take longer.
Use plastic cement for strong joins on polystyrene parts. Cyanoacrylate glue is useful for attaching small aftermarket bits but use sparingly to avoid fogging.
This kit includes moulded tracks that are assembled from sections. Check the instructions for correct alignment and tensioning tips.
