Academy - 1:35 Magach 7C ″Gimel″ - 13297

The Magach 7 is a comprehensive upgrade package for Israel's M60 series tanks, which was the mainstay of the IDFs armored corps. The Magach 7 is a further development of the Magach 6. It entered service with the Israeli Defense Forces in the 1980s. It has significantly improved capabilities over the original US M60 series tanks. In particular its armor protection was vastly improved. Blazer armor of the previous Magach 6 has been replaced with thick slabs of passive armor, which gives more protection. The main armament of the Magach 7 is still the L7/M68 105-mm rifled gun as fitted to earlier M60s but now with a bolt-on thermal sleeve for improved accuracy. The main gun fires the full range of 105-mm NATO ammunition which include APFSDS, HEAT, HESH, HE, APERS, and canister rounds. The M73 machine gun has been replaced by an FN-MAG. Bulky cupola of the M60 has been replaced by a low-profile Urdan cupola fitted with an FN-MAG. The loader has his own 7.62 FN-MAG as well. A 12.7mm M2HB can be fitted to the roof of the turret atop the mantlet for sub-caliber training or urban combat.
