Academy 13220 1/35 Merkava Magach 6B Batah

In the early 1970s, American arms were flowing already into Israel relatively freely in order to offset the massive arms deals provided by the Soviet Union to its Arab allies. These also included some of the best American tanks available, the M60 series with 150 M60 tanks (designated Magach 6 in Israeli service) delivered for the first time in 1971 to the Israeli port of Haifa, followed by a number of M60A1 tanks two years later, in 1973.

This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.
