The PUMA CEV (Combat Engineering Vehicle) version was based on the Achzarit IFV chassis, which was built from converted Soviet T-54 and T-55 tanks. Since the 1990s, the PUMA has been used in IDF engineering operations including Gaza Strip conflicts, preventive operations, and mine clearance.
This model faithfully captures the silhouette and details of the vehicle, including the characteristic hull shape and armament. Here, you will find a bi-directionally molded hull tub, individual track links allowing for realistic replication of sag, and photo-etched details (e.g., protective meshes and small details to enhance realism). This set allows you to recreate the appearance of a modern Israeli engineering vehicle true to the original.

The kit does not include glue or paints, therefore it is recommended for hobbyists who already have basic modeling equipment.
The advanced difficulty level (4/5) makes it an ideal choice for experienced armored modelers who seek challenges with a high level of detail. The inclusion of photo-etched parts enables deeper modeling work and an opportunity to learn new finishing techniques. We recommend it to collectors of the Israeli Ground Forces, as well as enthusiasts of the latest military technology and field vehicle reconstructions of the 21st century.

Hobby Boss 84547 IDF PUMA CEV 1/35 is a challenge that will reward the time spent on building it, allowing you to create a unique miniature of one of the most interesting contemporary engineering vehicles in the world.
