Re: Merkava 1/16
Good morning,
That's either an immense TX or the Merkava is a smaller tank overall than I had imagined. The metal work is beautiful. Some of the fender and storage hinges are cast tho' and will require a lot of work to make 'workable' since the upper is all metal. This fellow definitely has hit a niche. The only other Merkava I remember seeing was one that a member here was building some time ago from scratch. Price on this one?
regards,
Painless

Re: Merkava 1/16
Don't know about this one. I found it a while ago but it looks like it is a one off. I emailed him about the T-72/T-90 turret but never heard back from him. Can't say about the Merkava but the T-72/T-90 from him looks a little off proportion wise.

Very interested to see how this pans out, some of the metal work looks amazing.

Re: Merkava 1/16
Yeah, looks out of proportion. The real Merkava IV is only very slightly smaller than the Leopard 2A6, by about 10cm in length excluding the barrel. Still a fine looking model which I wouldn't say no too!PainlessWolf wrote: That's either an immense TX or the Merkava is a smaller tank overall than I had imagined.
