When the Yom Kippur holiday began, the Israeli army sent its regular forces home and the reserves stood watch over the country. Obviously, after receiving the ingenious upgrades by the Israelis, this tank, which was designed to counter the Soviet armor groups in West Europe, now plays a role in the low intensity security conflicts in the Middle East.It was 1973, the Israeli armed forces had updated its ground forces and aircraft from contemporary US inventory including the M60A1 main battle tank which was standing watch with NATO in Europe. And BATACH is an acronym for “overall security” in Hebrew. The GAL in the name comes from an Israeli fire-control system. One of these tanks has a very eye-catch name, the Magach 6B GAL BATASH. Even at the end of its service life, the upgrades on Magach didn’t stop. Like what they did to other imported AFVs, the Israelis have applied various upgrades on the M60A1E2. The Magach 6B is the Israeli name of M60A1E2. The kit also features outstanding details and excellent parts fit. Fine PE parts and a track assembly jig are included. The vinyl part designed by digital sculpting has realistic details. It includes the movable suspension and workable tracks. This kit continues the standard configuration of MENG AFV model kits. This TS-040 Israel Main Battle Tank Magach 6B GAL BATASH is the latest MENG product.
