Hello everybody,

my brand new Zelda tank is finished now :

That looks great!

Looks good. Was that a kit or scratch build?

Hi,

I got this tank as an almost finished kit tank (from "Scale Militärmodellbau"; this vendor is no more existing). But the quality was so ugly, that I made the decision to build it completely new. I have only used the rollers, sprockets and tracks. The hull and the details are scratched, the hull is made of plastic sheet and most of the deatils are 3D printed or soldered with brass parts.

Woo Hoo! That looks fine, indeed. I am not familiar with Israeli AFVs (though the M113 is something of a "homey.") I am curious about something interestingly unusual: are the red grab handles, hub covers, etc., typical of Isreali AFVs?

Hey Dr. Professor,

yes, the red-colored parts are typical for Israeli vehicles. On some other (battle-)tanks, the towing hooks are painted in black, but on the most vehicles, the parts are red.
Have a look here :
