This set allows any modeler to enhance the realism of their model thanks to photo-etched parts that accurately replicate details impossible to achieve with plastic.

Historical overview

The Achzarit is a heavy armored personnel carrier developed by Israel. It was built on the basis of captured Soviet T-54/T-55 tanks, which were adapted by the Israeli arms industry. These vehicles were introduced into service in the early 1990s, during the Cold War period. They stood out for their powerful armor and high resistance to enemy fire, providing safety to the crew and troops during urban warfare and low-intensity conflicts, including operations in Lebanon (Operation 'Hot Winter' and the Second Lebanon War).
