Well I picked this Sol Merkava static tank from Forgebear last weekend
I plan to convert to RC, but I've a few other projects to finish first so might be slooooooow.

Yes this kit would be quite interesting to see unboxed as Mr Herman has stated.

I will follow this to see how you do getting it finished up.
Cheers!
I bought off Forgebear who gave me a great price.

Wow that kit is amazing! Massive size too. Ian is this tank designed to be static with all the suspension design and tracks or is it already setup to convert to RC?
