Hobby Boss 83856 1/35 IDF Achzarit APC Early Version - Historical Model Guide

The Achzarit is a converted T-54/T-55 chassis repurposed into an armoured personnel carrier after capture in mid 20th century conflicts. The rebuild involved removing the original turret and adapting the hull to carry infantry under improved protection.

Early Service Features

Introduced in the late 1980s, the early Achzarit variants were fitted with a compact diesel unit replacing the Soviet engine and received enhanced armour in critical areas. This model reproduces those early service characteristics faithfully.
