Vehicle model – historical background

DF Eitan is a modern, eight-wheeled armored personnel carrier designed and manufactured in Israel for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). This next-generation vehicle was first officially presented in 2016 and today serves as combat equipment, protecting soldiers during armed conflicts and anti-terrorist operations in the Middle East. Its use covers both military operations and border patrol, as well as rapid support for ground units, making the DF Eitan one of the most technologically advanced transport vehicles in the modern Israeli army.

Product assessment and difficulty level

The Eduard 36528 DF Eitan detail set is recommended for all enthusiasts of 1/35 scale military vehicle models who pay close attention to detail and realism.
