hi there fv432

thats a nice job on the magach 7 ... i looked at doing an m60 rise .. and the snow leopard chassis is almost perfect as a statr point
just have to rase the sprocket .... there are several links in a german tank www where m 48 and m60 conversions are done .. but i dont have a clue what there chating about .. but the pics tell the story

cheers mate but those pics arent mine unfortunatly

have seen the rise on panzerketten i believe and its awesome if mine looks half as good i'll be pleased
now what you mean about note nowing what there on about (even through babelfish) but the pics do speak volumes

looking at it the only difference is the sprockets which are merkavas and the obvious turret and frontal armour the rear being typical m60 was hoping not to do this but hey might have a go

[fv432]

wow thanks matt nice link

The great thing about those side skirts is that they can hide a multitude of sins  ;D
The gun barrel is close enough in appearance to that of the Leopard that you can probably use a metal replacement for the Tamiya kit.
Its certainly do-able if you're prepared to put in the effort, and have considerably more talent than me  ;D

P.S. Most of the Magach's in that vid are 7b models with the earlier (and uglier!) turret configuration. The version in your pic is a 7c (sometimes also called Magach 8 ).
Having pointed that out, I'll get my tank spotter's anorak and leave...

cheers mart not sure on the talent bit
but ive got loads of sticky backed plastic and a blue peter badge so im qualified lol

Hi Rob,

So you're going ahead with the Magach build eh? Nice one. 
Here's a link to an excellent 1:35 conversion which gives pics from all angles.

If there's anything I can help with on this one don't hesitate to ask.

Cheers
