Historical authenticity and IDF details

Tiran-6 is the designation given by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to captured Soviet T-62 tanks. After the Six-Day War and the Yom Kippur War, the Israeli forces captured significant numbers of armored vehicles; many of the acquired T-62s underwent thorough modernization and were introduced into service as the Tiran-6. These tanks were used from the late 1970s through the 1990s, mainly in Middle Eastern operations.

The Trumpeter plastic model was recreated based on detailed plans and photographs, with attention given to faithfully reproducing Israeli modifications – from new hatches, modified turrets, specific armor, to characteristic IDF equipment details.
