1/35 D9R Armoured Bulldozer with Slat Armour

This is a plastic model kit, which comes unassembled and unpainted. So glue, model paints and other basic modelling tools are additionally required.

Because of its special combat environment, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) is equipped with many peculiar weapons and equipment, one of which is the D9R armoured bulldozer with slat armour. The D9 bulldozers are originally designed for building, logging and mining purposes. The Ramta Division of the Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) developed an all-new armour suite, Daqhpor Memugan, for D9R bulldozers which were in the IDF service in a large number in October 2003. This armour suite can provide overall protection to D9Rs. From 2005, D9Rs have been added with the slat armour suite, which is effective in protecting them from RPG-7 attacks. Besides, weapons like machine guns and grenade launchers can be added on top of the cab for self-defence.

MENG has now announced the SS-010 D9R Armoured Bulldozer with Slat Armor model kit which is a replica of the latest IDF D9R variant. This kit includes brand-new tooling workable track links and perfectly represented complex slat armour.
