Trumpeter 01092 Iron Dome Air Defense System in 1/35 scale is a high-quality model kit faithfully recreating one of the world’s most advanced modern air defense systems – the Israeli Iron Dome. The kit is intended for advanced modelers seeking unique modern military subjects.

Iron Dome is a mobile, fully automated air defense system developed by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and Israel Aerospace Industries. It was developed after the Second Lebanon War in response to the growing missile threat from the Gaza Strip. Its main task is to intercept and destroy artillery shells and rockets with ranges of up to 70 km, effectively protecting Israeli cities and the civilian population. Since 2011, the system has been used successfully, including during Operation Pillar of Defense in 2012, where interception effectiveness exceeded 87%. Iron Dome is regularly used by the Israeli Defense Forces.

The Trumpeter model in 1/35 scale stands out for its detailed construction, consisting of over 320 parts. The set includes 11 sprues, 4 photo-etched parts, and an engraved brass wire, allowing for an even higher level of realism in the vehicle and missile system details. The model is made from high-quality plastic. Photo-etched elements increase the set’s realism by replicating the smallest construction details.
