AFV Club 35293 IDF M109A2 Self-Propelled Howitzer Doher 1/35 – a self-propelled howitzer model for demanding modellers

The AFV Club 35293 IDF M109A2 Self-Propelled Howitzer Doher in 1/35 scale is a precise plastic kit that allows you to build a faithful replica of the Israeli Doher self-propelled howitzer, a modernized version of the American M109A2. This is a proposal aimed at military modelling enthusiasts interested in Israeli Defence Force (IDF) vehicles from the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries.

The original M109A2 is an American 155 mm self-propelled howitzer, produced since the 1960s and used worldwide. In the 1990s and 2000s, based on the experience of numerous conflicts (including the Yom Kippur War and later), the Israelis carried out their own modernization of these guns, creating the Doher version. This variant featured new electronics, communication systems, and a superstructure adapted to local requirements. The Doher howitzer was used by the IDF from the late 1980s until the second decade of the 21st century, taking part in operations during conflicts in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip, among others.

This is a product that will enrich any collection and provide satisfaction both during construction and display.
