The MiniArt 37044 TIRAN 4 SHARIR EARLY TYPE w/DOZER BLADE model in 1/35 scale is a plastic assembly kit that faithfully recreates the Israeli version of the early series Tiran 4 tank equipped with a distinctive engineering dozer blade. This model is an excellent choice for Cold War military enthusiasts and fans of Israeli modifications of Soviet designs.

Historical background

The Tiran 4 tank was developed in the 1970s in Israel – it was an improved version of the captured Soviet T-54s. After the Six-Day War and the Yom Kippur War, Israel acquired a significant number of Soviet equipment, which was then modernized and adapted to their own terrain requirements and combat tactics. Tiran 4 tanks were used by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) mainly during the Cold War period. Additionally, vehicles fitted with dozer blades for engineering tasks proved their worth during the Arab-Israeli conflicts, especially for clearing terrain and enhancing defensive positions.
