Historical context – Yom Kippur War, 1973

This set represents an Israeli tank crew from the period of the Yom Kippur War (October 6 – October 25, 1973).

The figures are perfect for complementing vehicle models such as Centurion tanks, Sho't Kal, Patton M48/M60, or the popular Super Sherman used by the Israeli army.
