The Mk.3D introduced modular, replaceable armour panels on the turret and hull, and it served the Israel Defense Forces through the 2000s. The design reflects Israel's emphasis on crew survival, with a rear hatch that lets the crew exit under cover and the engine shielding the fighting compartment. The Mk.3D's angular armour modules make it look very different from earlier Merkavas and give the model a purposeful, modern outline.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKit number one in Meng's TS tank series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWedge shaped modular turret armour typical of the Mk.3D\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed running gear and hull side skirts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTurret stowage baskets and chains moulded with fine detail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDecals and painting guide included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eModelling cement, paints and tools are needed to complete the Merkava and are available separately.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Meng","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53961832923402,"sku":"MNGTS-001","price":56.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0861\/4966\/0938\/files\/a123ed45f444d6d4.jpg?v=1792876546","url":"https:\/\/super-models.co.uk\/products\/meng-merkava-mk-3d-early-israeli-main-battle-tank-ts-001","provider":"SuperModels","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
