Academy 13297 - 1/35 Magach 7C 'GIMEL' Precision Scale Kit  [AC-13297]

Academy 13297 - 1/35 Magach 7C 'GIMEL' Replica

The Academy 13297 - 1/35 Magach 7C 'GIMEL' scale kit reproduces a notable armoured vehicle used by the Israeli Defence Forces. The moulded parts reflect the Magach line's rugged silhouette and operational detailing. Intended for committed modelers and collectors, the kit provides a detailed build that mirrors the tank's real-life features.

Service Background and Modelling Interest

The Magach 7C 'GIMEL' stems from extensive upgrades to the US M48 Patton chassis to meet regional defence needs. Upgrades historically included stronger armour and improved fire control, traits that make the subject interesting to scale modellers who want to study post-production modifications. The kit highlights those changes so builders can examine the engineering behind the conversion.

Assembly Notes and Display Appeal

Parts are engineered to fit cleanly, allowing accurate recreation of the turret, hull and suspension. Track and detail work reward careful assembly and offer scope for weathering and finishing techniques. Once completed, the model displays well on a shelf or in a cabinet and stands up to close inspection.
