Meng Model 1:35 - Merkava Mk.3D Late LIC - Plastic model kit #TS-025
The Merkava is the main battle tank of the Israeli Defense Forces. It has four main variants - the Mark I, Mark II, Mark III and Mark IV. The Merkava Mark III was issued in 1989 and remained in production until 2003. In 2016 the Merkava III was considered the most numerous tank in service with the IDF. Unlike its predecessor, the Mk.II, the Mark III had a larger 1,200 hp diesel engine and was armed with the more advanced IMI 120 mm gun.
The Merkava Mk.3D LIC is one of the Mark III versions. It was modified to operate in low intensity conflicts (LIC) in urban areas. For that purpose it was fitted with more advanced armour (including underside armour against anti-tank mines and IEDs), front and rear towing horns on the chassis and additional protection of the optical equipment and lights. The Merkava Mk.3D saw action in various modern conflicts including the Lebanon War in 2006 and the Gaza War in 2009. It was also widely deployed in numerous security operations along the Israeli border.

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.
