Tamiya 35323 1/35 Israeli M51 - Historical Scale Model for Collectors

The M51 was a locally upgraded M4A1 Sherman that saw prominent service in the 1960s, including the Six-Day War of 1967. This Tamiya 35323 1/35 scale kit reproduces the vehicle's notable attributes, such as the French 105mm CN-105-F1 main gun which required a muzzle brake and turret counterweight. Period accounts note the M51's 460hp diesel engine and upgraded suspension, giving it the mobility to contend with contemporary threats like the T-54/55 and JS-3.

Scale Accuracy and Kit Details

This kit focuses on authentic surface textures and operational detail. Tamiya renders the cast texture on the turret and upper hull, includes HVSS suspension components and T80 style tracks, and supplies scale accessories like tools and jerry cans to enhance display realism.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Length: 257mm
  • Width: 86mm
  • Material: Plastic
  • Includes: Belt-type tracks, commander and loader figures, 3 types of markings
This kit is best for intermediate to experienced modellers due to fine detail and the need for careful assembly of suspension and track sections.
The kit builds well out of the box, but many builders add metal barrels, photo-etch parts, or resin accessories to boost realism.
Enamel and acrylic hobby paints both give good results; weathering with washes and drybrushing brings out the cast texture and panel detail.
