TAKOM 1/35 MERKAVA Mk.2D
I have assembled Takom's Merkava Mk.2D.
Compared to their previous products, this kit is much easier to assemble, and I think it has become a good kit.

She is slowly coming together! I'm at the stage of trying to touch up the camouflage. I've already made a base to mount her on.
