Academy 13267 - 1/35 I.D.F. Main Battle Tank Merkava MK III: Assembly Brief

The Academy 13267 1/35 kit of the I.D.F. Merkava MK III gives Australian modellers a solid platform to recreate the vehicle's distinctive engineering. It combines accurate external features with parts that reward careful assembly and finishing.

Period Detail and Design

First fielded in the late 1980s, the Merkava MK III is recognised for its crew-first layout and heavy armour. This model reflects those design priorities through scale-accurate components and surface detail.

Finishing and Presentation Advice

After build completion, apply primer and layer paints to emphasise panels and weld lines. Weathering techniques such as washes and dry brushing will enhance depth and create an authentic used look.

Specifications

Build time varies with skill level; allow several weekends for assembly, filling and painting to reach a neat finish.
This kit is primarily for static display. Some modellers modify kits for working tracks, but that requires significant alteration and extra parts.
Essential tools include sprue cutters, fine files, modelling knife, sanding sticks, tweezers and quality cement. A small paint set and brushes or an airbrush are recommended.
