HobbyBoss 1:35 IDF Achzarit APC Early
83856
£33.00 GBP
The Achzarit is a heavy armoured personnel carrier produced by the Israeli Defence Forces in 1988. Its name means "Cruel" in Hebrew and in civilian life is used to refer to a woman.
The Achzarit was built on the basis of the Soviet T-54/T-55 tank, several units of which were captured by Israeli Forces from Arabs during the Arab-Israeli wars. The turret was removed from the tank and its chassis was redesigned to make it suitable for carrying soldiers. The vehicle was equipped with a smaller, but more powerful engine and has reactive armour.
The armament of the APC consists of three 7.62mm machine guns, including one controlled by a Rafael Overhead Weapon Station. Later versions feature a bulletproof glass turret to protect the commander from small arms fire when he looks outside the vehicle. The Achzarit was deployed during Operation Rainbow in Rafah in 2004 and the Gaza War in 2008.

Academy 1:35 - M2A2 Bradley Iraq 2003 - Plastic Model Kit #13205
The M2 Bradley is an American infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) of the Bradley Fighting Vehicle family. It is used by US infantry units mainly for transportation and reconnaissance. Highly maneuverable and fast, it is able to protect the crew from small arms fire. Armed with the 25 mm M242 Chain Gun and TOW anti-tank missiles, the M2 Bradley is effective against major threats on battlefield. The vehicle is designed for a three-member crew (a commander, a gunner and a driver) and six soldiers carrying the necessary equipment.
The M2A2 version was issued in 1988. Featuring a better engine (600 hp or 447 kW) and a number of armour improvements, the M2A2 also had the ability to mount explosive reactive armour. The new armour also made the M2A2 amphibious. The turret of the vehicle acquired a semicircular shield which served as additional armour and provided more space for ammo storage.
The M2A2 and other M2 vehicles saw action during the the Gulf War in 1990 and Invasion of Iraq in 2003. In 2007 the production of the M2 Bradley was stopped and it was replaced by MRAPs which proved to be more durable in combat.
