Israeli Tank Tiran 5 - Tamiya 1/35 Scale Plastic Model Kit

Build a unique armoured vehicle with the Tamiya Israeli Tank Tiran 5, a detailed 1:35 scale plastic model kit representing one of the most distinctive tanks used by the Israeli Defence Force. Developed from captured Soviet T-55 tanks following the Six-Day War in 1967, the Tiran 5 combined proven Soviet engineering with Israeli modifications and battlefield experience.

To meet operational requirements, many Tiran 5 tanks received extensive upgrades including a 105mm main gun, additional machine guns, improved stowage and identification features. These modified vehicles saw combat during the Yom Kippur War of 1973 and continued serving into the early 1980s.

Tamiya faithfully recreates the characteristic appearance of the Tiran 5, including the upgraded armament, turret storage boxes and external equipment that distinguished it from the original T-55. With detailed crew figures, realistic accessories and markings for a 1980-era vehicle, this kit is an excellent choice for military modellers and modern armour enthusiasts.
