Tiger Model 4624 IDF Nagmachon Heavy APC Doghouse Early 1/35

We offer the Tiger Model 4624 IDF Nagmachon Heavy APC Doghouse Early in 1/35 scale — an exceptionally detailed plastic model kit, ideal for fans of modern armored vehicles and Israeli military equipment. The set allows for an accurate reconstruction of the famous IDF Nagmachon heavy armored personnel carrier in its early version with the distinctive "Doghouse" turret, used by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

Historical and Technical Overview

The Nagmachon was developed based on the hull of the Centurion Sho't tank, which had been operated by Israel since the 1970s. Production and deployment began in the late 1980s as a result of experiences gained during numerous Middle Eastern conflicts. The vehicle was adapted for urban combat, featuring multiple armored shields and additional reactive armor against shaped charges (RPGs). The "Early Doghouse" variant is equipped with a closed superstructure allowing the crew to operate safely in the face of sniper threats or terrorist attacks.

These APCs played a significant role during, among others, the Second Intifada, peacekeeping missions, and police and anti-terrorist operations in the 1990s and 2000s. Their massive construction ensured safe infantry transport, mine-clearing, deploying obstacles, and they also served as command vehicles. The distinctive appearance of the "Doghouse" earned it the nickname "miflecet" ("monster") among soldiers.
