Merkava Mk.4M with Trophy Active Protection System

The Merkava Mk.4M, an indigenous main battle tank developed and produced by Israel, made its battlefield debut in early 2011. The Merkava Mk.4M continues the design philosophy of the Merkava series, focusing on protection and crew survivability. To counter common battlefield threats such as rocket-propelled grenades and anti-tank missiles, it is equipped with the Trophy active protection system developed by Israel's Rafael Advanced Defense Systems. This system detects incoming threats using radar and optical sensors, calculates their trajectory, and then launches interceptors to destroy or deflect the threat at a safe distance, protecting the vehicle from attack.

This MENG 1/72 72-006 Israeli Main Battle Tank Merkava Mk.4M w/Trophy Active Protection System model is about 127mm long, 55mm wide and 47mm high once assembled. Based on the experience from previous 1/72 scale products, this kit continues to embrace the concept of modular design, and it further improves the building experience. This kit includes fine decals too.

This kit accurately replicates the exterior features of the Israeli Main Battle Tank Merkava Mk.4M w/Trophy Active Protection System.

The kit features a modular fast-assembly design, which simplifies the complexity of assembly while maintaining the details.
