IDF Puma CEV 1/35

Hobbyboss 84547 - IDF Puma CEV

HobbyBoss 84547 IDF Puma CEV is a highly detailed plastic model kit in 1/35 scale, depicting the Israeli combat engineering vehicle based on the Centurion chassis. The model features heavy armor, a prominent dozer blade, engineering equipment, and a rugged military design, making it ideal for Middle Eastern dioramas or as a striking standalone display. When completed, the model measures approximately 21 cm (8.3 inches) in length, around 10 cm (3.9 inches) in width including equipment, and about 8 cm (3.1 inches) in height, giving it a solid and imposing presence in 1/35 scale.

For painting, a classic Israeli desert color scheme works perfectly. The main color can be built up using Vallejo Model Color 70821 German Camouflage Beige, with tonal variation added using 70819 Iraqi Sand and lighter highlights in 70837 Pale Sand. Details such as tracks, tools, winch, and metallic components can be painted with 70863 Gunmetal Grey, while rubber parts and optics work well in 70950 Black and 70884 Stone Grey. To achieve a realistic dusty, operational look, weathering can be applied using Vallejo Model Wash Desert Dust and Dark Brown Wash, especially around the tracks, dozer blade, and lower hull.

With its heavy-duty appearance, unique engineering role, and excellent level of detail, this plastic model kit is an excellent choice for modelers interested in modern combat engineering vehicles.
