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

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.

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!
