Hello Dave.
It's the tanks I'm planning to concentrate on. I especially like the shot and Magach and really looking forward to building a Tiran. I believe Tamiya do a Late Tiran 5 or I may attempt a T55 conversion, not decided yet :smiling:
The Nagmachon kit crops up whenever I search for idf kits...tempting but looks fiddly.
I'm interested in the outcome if you decide to build the thing

Martin,
I knew I'd built another IDF vehicle - a few years ago - the HobbyBoss Achzarit - I do have an Academy Merkava in my stash as well, but the 'ball and chain' armour under the rear of the turret put me off every time I look at it! There are some good IDF M60 Blazers, and AMX-13s around as well, but seem to be more scarce these days!

Achzarit, I had to look that one up :smiling:
I built a Tamiya Merkava back in the day but the other manufacturers kits look way more detailed.

Martin,
finally found a pic - this was done in 2017 - I had to look in my back up files!
HB 1-35 Achzarit.jpg
Nice model to build, but ended up rather boring - it really needed some figures to give a point of interest

Nice build Dave.
I agree though, the vehicle itself doesn't have much going on.
BTW, even though my interest is in Idf vehicles, my first build is a Tamiys Chieftan which was the unexpected Xmas prezzie that got my modelling juices flowing after all these years.
I'll get a wip thread going at some point :smiling:
