How to Build / Tips

- Dry-fit major hull and turret halves before gluing to ensure alignment.
- The kit includes rubber band style tracks (not individual links) — take care in tensioning them to avoid sag.
- Add extra stowage or accessories on the turret to simulate operational kits.
- Use washes and subtle weathering (dust, desert tones) to bring out paneling and seams.
- Consider using photo-etched mesh over intake or vent areas for realism.

Why Choose This Kit?

The Merkava is Israel’s signature MBT, and its unique layout (engine front, crew compartment in the middle) makes it visually and technically interesting. This Tamiya kit brings that iconic design to life in a reliable, well-engineered form — perfect for collectors and diorama builders alike.
