AFV Club AF35272 1/35 IDF M109 1982 Rochev Self-Propelled
Model Kit
The AFV Club AF35272 1/35 IDF M109 1982 Rochev Self-Propelled Model Kit accurately recreates the Israeli Defense Forces’ Rochev variant of the M109 self-propelled howitzer as it appeared during the 1982 Lebanon War. Featuring Israeli-specific modifications and finely reproduced details, this kit captures one of the IDF’s most important mobile artillery systems, offering an excellent foundation for an authentic modern military display or diorama.
The M109 has served as the backbone of self-propelled artillery forces around the world since its introduction in the early 1960s. Israel extensively upgraded its fleet to meet local operational requirements, with the Rochev variants providing reliable, mobile fire support for armored and mechanized formations. During Operation Peace for Galilee in 1982, these vehicles played a vital role in delivering accurate indirect fire while maintaining the mobility needed to keep pace with advancing ground forces.
