IDF Merkava Mk.IV (1/72)

This is one of my first finished projects in 1/72nd scale.
For this project i've used the HobbyBoss Mk.IV (82915).
A nice kit with good details.
I removed the fan and exhaust grills and changed them through PE grills.
I also improved some small details.
I've added antennas, .50 ammo belt, used resin turret- chains and side skirt parts from (MT72202/ ).
There is a large gap above the tension wheel that needs to be closed.

The () I resin dio- base is improved with much additional scratch elements.

Figures are from Modell Trans Modellbau, Armory () and (H057).

  1. A nice model all round, Simon, the added details really help with the realism.

  2. Sweet Dio. First impression that the kit was in 1/35 scale. Some strong work in the paint dept with well painted figures. Photos are sharp and clear and do a good job or showing your work Simon.
