MENG MERKAVA Mk.4
I decided to try my hand at something different so I got myself a 1/35 tank.
I couldn’t believe it when I opened the box, 1000 parts!
I’ve added metal tracks and some wires and aerials, otherwise it’s out of the box.
Hope you like it.

Stephen, this is a great Merkava. You weathered it well but not TOO weathered. Well done, Sir!

Stephen, this is outstanding, as Jeff said above, you weathered it well. This would look really nice on a diorama. I like it a lot !

It’s brilliantly made in my humble opinion, it simply looks like the 1/1 scale brother

Wow! That’s really well done. I like the water bottles in the bustle.

Spectacular! The added antennas and personal items really add to the build.

Outstanding build! What color did you use for the IDF grey…it looks perfect?
stephen leslie said on January 31, 2019
It’s basically a mix of light grey (xf-20) and khaki brown (xf-57) but I can’t say exactly how much because it’s varied from one coat to the next.

very nice job Stephen! What blue did you used for the trophy system? And how have you made antennas?
stephen leslie said on May 25, 2020
I can’t actually remember what the blue was as it’s a bit old now but the antennas are 0.3mm steel wire.
