Great build and especially the perfect weathering. Terrific photos, also. There’s no way this looks like a “fifth model”
As Craig said, you’ll like this site. Full of great people with amazing skills.

This is amazing for your 5th model; you sure learn fast! Beautifully done, Robert. Superb detailing!

Thank you for such a nice reception and appreciation of my work.
@jim wasley, @George Williams: INMHO Meng is doing great job – model kits are very detailed, the build is smooth and easy.

Very impressive Merkava. Looks to me like you have that born with talent.
I saw a mention of the ball and chain armor in an earlier post. Where did you get yours?
Robert Swislocki said on May 31, 2017
Thanks. The ball and chain armor is an made of a plastic material, integral part of the kit. I didn’t use any additional parts during building process.

A challenging kit, well modelled.

Great looking Merkava! I love the finish here. I remember reading a quote from the great Tony Greenland regarding his quite clean armor builds, I’m paraphrasing, “I’m trying to represent the vehicle, not the terrain in which it operated”. I loved that attitude, and I like seeing clean tanks sometimes as well as the very dirty ones!
That’s a winner Robert! ๐

Gary, nice quote from Mr. Greenland! I’m gonna use that! Thanks!

If that’s 5 models in, you’re on your way to building some contest winners! Looks great.

Cool tank! The Meng kits are fantastic, I’ve built a couple myself.
Looking forward to seeing some more of your builds.
