AFV Club 35311 IDF M113A1 NAG'MASH 1973 1/35

The plastic model kit AFV Club 35311 IDF M113A1 NAG'MASH 1973 in the popular 1/35 scale is a proposal for advanced enthusiasts of military modeling. This unique set replicates the Israeli version of the popular American M113A1 armored personnel carrier, adapted by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) under the name Nag'mash.

In the 1970s, especially during the Yom Kippur War in 1973, the M113A1 played a key role in combat operations in the Middle East. The Israeli Defense Forces modified the vehicle to meet their needs, introducing numerous changes to improve crew protection, mobility, and combat functionality. The AFV Club model faithfully recreates these structural changes, including characteristic side skirts and equipment elements mounted on the armor.
