The Israeli “Droid” system is an advanced soft-kill defensive system used to deceive and disrupt the guidance of anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs). This technology has been widely implemented in operations such as “Protective Edge” and during current border security missions in Israel. The P35-290 Type.2 set is created for model builders who keep up with the latest trends of the modern battlefield and wish to replicate authentic details of Israeli army equipment.

The set includes precisely cut photo-etched components, making it possible to accurately reproduce even the smallest details of this advanced system, often unavailable in standard plastic kits. Type.2 components differ in layout and details from Type.1, allowing modelers to better match specific vehicle versions.

The assembly of this set features a moderate level of difficulty (level 3/5). Basic experience with photo-etched parts and precision is required. The product is especially recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers who wish to achieve outstanding realism and highlight the latest military technologies used by the Israeli army in their scale models.

The E.T. Model P35-290 set is strongly recommended for all military modeling enthusiasts and collectors of contemporary IDF vehicles, seeking the highest level of detail and authenticity.
