Academy 13297 - 1/35 Magach 7C 'GIMEL' Scale Model

The Academy 13297 - 1/35 Magach 7C 'GIMEL' is a carefully moulded representation of a well known Israeli armoured vehicle. The kit reflects the Magach series' characteristic forms and equipment, giving scale modellers a clear platform to recreate period detail. It is aimed at those who enjoy methodical assembly and finishing.

Historical Notes and Modelling Value

The Magach 7C 'GIMEL' originates from M48 Patton upgrades that were implemented to enhance protection and targeting capability. These field and workshop modifications provide model makers with distinct elements to replicate, making the kit of interest to modellers focused on armour evolution and service upgrades.

Will I need prior armour modelling experience?

Prior experience is helpful due to smaller fittings and complex assemblies. Enthusiastic beginners can attempt it but should allow extra time and patience.

What paint approach is recommended for realism?

Start with a good primer, apply an even base coat, then use washes and drybrushing to emphasise details and simulate wear.

How can I protect the painted finish?

Seal work with a clear varnish suitable for models. Choose matt or satin according to the desired final look and apply sparingly to retain surface texture.
