Tank fans, get ready—Border Model is back on the battlefield with its latest plastic powerhouse: the BT-055 Israel Merkava Mk.2 in 1/35 scale. And this isn’t just another tank kit—it’s packed with enough interior detail to keep even the most hardcore builders glued to the bench for days.

What’s in the Box?

Border’s new BT-055 kit brings the legendary Merkava Mk.2 to life with:

• A fully detailed interior—driver’s seat to engine block, it’s all here.
• Workable suspension and individual track links to flex your modelling muscles.
• Fine anti-slip texture molded into the hull for that true Israeli desert grit.
• Photo-etched parts for added realism.
• Multiple decal options so you can customise your Merkava your way.

A Battle-Ready Build

This isn’t just a display piece—it’s a modelling mission. Whether you’re showing off the full interior in an open build or closing it up for a clean, war-ready look, BT-055 gives you options. Builders who loved Border’s earlier Merkava Mk.2D (BT-037) will find this one just as satisfying—and maybe even tougher to put down.

On Sale Soon

The kit is rolling into shops now for pre-order, with prices floating around €60 to £70 depending on where you look. Expect it to hit shelves in late Q3 2025.
