Eduard 35658 M-113A2 Desert I.F.F./C.I.F.I.D. Panels is a high-quality model accessory set designed specifically for the M-113A2 kits from Tamiya in the popular 1/35 scale. The precisely made photo-etched metal sheet contains elements dedicated to replicating identification panels from the period of desert operations, known as I.F.F. (Identification Friend or Foe) / C.I.F.I.D. (Combat Identification Panels).

The M113A2 is an American armored personnel carrier that formed one of the pillars of mechanized land forces of the United States and many NATO allies. This versatile vehicle was widely used from the late 1960s, through the Cold War, and up to the present day—including participation in the "Desert Storm" operation in the Middle East. In challenging desert conditions, I.F.F./C.I.F.I.D. panels were used to minimize the risk of friendly fire.
