So great!
The inside of IDF may be different from the US ARMY.

Great build. I like the pics of the raw materials and that decal on the ammo can!
Also, the LEGO armour.

Very nice job, Henry. I had not seen anything by you before. Excellent job on the weathering. And of course it's always good to have a new IDF fan around. You should post more often.

Actually it is from HKCW. In my remember, AEF also have the same product.

YES... To this model, I did not put more time on the internal. Next time I will build the another ZELDA with the full internal installation in IDF style.

Thanks again! I like the IDF's creation on their old vehicles. Their thoughts are so great and unique!

Very nice looking model.
This must be the HKCW conversion or at least the shields.

One thing. The IDF is using external fuel tanks because of the safety. There should not be an internal tank anymore and I think also the fuel cap of the internal tank should not be there anymore.

YES, the EAAK and upper shield is from HKCW.

To the internal fuel tank, I have no idea whether this vehicle has it or not. But I refer to the other pics of IDF's M113s. Most of them have the internal tank. But I cannot confirm one thing, MAYBE when IDF up-grade their M113s, they install the external tank and remove the internal tank for safety. Is it right?

Great Piece of work Henry
BTW do you have the website of this HCKW stuff?

One question on your 3 posts I saw that you didnot paint the rubber band on the wheels any reasons ??

The other builds are so great
Next time, it will be cool to see the WIP pics
cheers

Dear Seb,
Unfortunately, I don't have the website of this company. But I think you can find their limited products from this web-site: http://www.hobbyeasy.com/
To rim of wheels, actually I painted them in Black Grey. But after the wheathering, it is not such obvious.
Have a good day!

Do you have internal referenes for the APC version?

It is my unattainable holy grail of modeling references. I simply cannot find a full 360 'modelers eye' set of pictures of a single vehicle -rahter than cobbling together a picture here and there-

If such a grail exists, I would love very much to find it.
