Voyager Model PE35274 Modern Merkava Mk.IV MBT Side Skirts (For ACADEMY 13213) 1/35

The Voyager Model PE35274 Modern Merkava Mk.IV MBT Side Skirts upgrade set is a professional kit of photo-etched side skirts dedicated to the Merkava Mk.IV tank model by Academy (cat. no. 13213), designed for 1/35 scale models. This is a high-quality detail set aimed at modellers who wish to take the realism of their build to the next level, capturing the fine details characteristic of modern Israeli main battle tanks.

The Merkava Mk.IV is the latest iteration of the Israeli main battle tank, in use by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) since 2004. This model participated, among others, in the Summer 2006 operation in Lebanon, as well as in various modern Middle Eastern missions, becoming one of the symbols of contemporary armoured forces. It is distinguished by its innovative construction and advanced crew protection systems—the side skirts are an important component, providing extra protection for Israel's mobile army units.

The PE35274 set is manufactured using advanced photo-etching technology from the highest quality brass sheet. As a result, the parts are extremely thin and yet precise—allowing the recreation of fine details that cannot be replicated in standard plastic. The side skirts in this set are true to scale, feature a realistic texture, and sharp shapes, surpassing standard plastic kit parts in both durability and detail.
