Tiran 5 Tank, Israeli 1/35 Scale Limited Edition Re-Release - Tamiya

About this part

Captured T-55s that came back swinging. During the 1967 Six-Day War, the IDF grabbed T-55s from the Arab armies, reworked them and put them to work as the Tiran 5. Plenty got a 105mm in place of the 100mm, an M2 heavy machine gun on the mantlet, extra machine guns for the commander and loader, and storage boxes on the right side of the turret for friend-or-foe ID. They fought in the 1973 Yom Kippur War and held the front until the early 1980s, then got passed out to forces around the world, the South Lebanese Army among them.
