RC F Tiran 4/5 1/16 previos T-54/5 1973-82 wars
Thanks Soviets supporting Syruian and egypt could IDF capture 3 Tanks Brigades !
At War 1973 I had seen , one of those brigades run into battle against egyptian forces probabyl broke their moral by watching their own tanks turn against them
That Model is basicly Hooben T-55 Kit 1/16 run with tamiya electronic

What is the translation of Tiran? Big fan of all your conversions, i’m betting you have your keen to get a Merkava 4.
Cheers

I, too, have been watching all your photos, IDF veteran. Last night I downloaded one photo of your Tiran (T55) and one of the US M48. They seem quite similar, something I had not realized.

I believe Tiran is just the name they used for the upgraded T55/62 tanks?

Tiran 4 = T54

Tiran 5 = T55

Tiran 6 = T62

Enjoying your idf armour, especially after watching Valley of Tears.
