I haven't built any modern armour, but the Merkava has always been one that I had my eye on.
I've got a soft spot for the Leopard II as well.
I must say that yours certainly inspires.
It's looking great. Any plans for a vignette or a diorama?

Looms great TS....
I did a review of the HobbyBoss Mk IIID Merkava a couple of days ago, will be posting up on YT this week - Probably the best looking AFV of all time (to me anyways )

Thank's for the feedback' I am shortly to start the Academy Merkava IV, not sure about a diorama I don;t weather my armour that much. As you say the Merkava has a brutish quality all of it,s own.

Hi, it,s a good kit, but the rubber band style track,s are terrible!. They are very tough with very little give.I had a hell of a job fitting them. Personally If I built this kit again I would replace the track,s with aftermarket one,s. Will post some more shot,s when it,s finished.
