1⁄35
Monday, December 05, 2016 - 04:43 AM UTC
The new kit from Dragon in their Six-Day War series features an M3 boasting Nord Aviation SS.11 wire-guided antitank guided missiles (ATGM), which was done to beef up the offensive capability of IDF halftracks.
The SS.11 missile was steered to a line-of-sight target by the operator via thrust vectoring control. The 30kg missile had a maximum range of 3,000m. Associated modifications to the halftrack included fitting an armoured roof, a full-width launch rail in the mid-section, and storage boxes in the rear for spare missiles.
Dragon’s recently released M3 halftrack has been suitably modified to create this 1/35 scale Israeli M3 antitank missile carrier.
The most obvious difference is the bank of four SS.11 ATGMs mounted atop the vehicle. The fighting compartment has been modified to incorporate a firewall between the cab and rear compartment, and two large storage boxes are installed in the rear.
A roof hatch can be depicted open or closed. There is also a plentiful supply of photo-etched parts in the kit to portray metal components and tool brackets.
