Hobby Boss 83856 1/35 IDF Achzarit Early Version Scale Kit  [HB-83856]

Hobby Boss 83856 1/35 IDF Achzarit APC Early Version - Builder Notes

The Achzarit started life as a T-54/T-55 tank captured in combat and rebuilt into an armoured personnel carrier by removing its turret and refitting the hull. The conversion prioritised troop protection and internal reorganisation.

Conversion History

Coming into service around 1988, early Achzarit examples featured a new compact diesel engine and added protection where needed. Hobby Boss captures these early conversion cues in the kit's external shapes and fittings.

Assembly and Finish

This 1/35 scale kit contains over 750 parts, delivering a detailed model that benefits from patient assembly and refined painting. Completed dimensions are 220mm long and 106mm wide, making the model a strong display option in any collection.
