1/35 M151A2 “jappas” in IDF service during operation “peace for Galilee”, Lebanon 1982-1985

Finally finished, took almost a year with some pauses. It still needs bit of dust but I will add that once it is on base. Basic kit is Academy, wheels are from DEF models, some parts I used from Legends and CMKs sets, lights are from SKP [...]

This genre is unfamiliar to me and it is very difficult for me. the manual was so difficult that it was even harder.

1/35 Academy M1A1 Abrams “IRAQI 2003”

I've built a good amount of armor over the past few years but never an Abrams. Don't know why, maybe to common for my tastes. I'm more of a fan of Cold War machines like the M48, M60, and T-55 series of tanks, or very unique subjects [...]
