Meng Model SS-018 Israeli Heavy Armoured Personnel Carrier Namer 1/35 is a high-quality plastic model kit that accurately depicts one of the most advanced modern armored personnel carriers used by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). Produced by the renowned Meng Model company, this set allows you to build an authentic replica of the heavy Namer APC in 1/35 scale, valued by both collectors and military model enthusiasts.

The Namer is structurally based on the hull of Israel's main battle tank, the Merkava. The vehicle entered service in the modern era and has been primarily used by Israel since the late 2000s. It was developed to meet the need for safe troop transportation based on experiences in Middle Eastern conflicts, including operations in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon. The Namer is one of the best-armored APCs in the world, capable of carrying 12 soldiers and equipped with state-of-the-art protection systems—including the Trophy active protection system, which can also be built with this kit. This model allows for the construction of different variants: the command version and the late standard version.
