This is a built model of IDF Merkava Mk.III D type. Model built from Legend full resin conversion kits. PE detail update parts and resin kits bring awesome features. Metal track links perfect match movable suspension.

Looking really nice. But you put on to much tracks.

Fine.
Look at the tracks: one is upside down.

Excellent finish, the only thing that bothers me is the first roadwheel (with the holes/open face) was usually only seen on Merkava Mk. II's. It may have happened, but if it did, it was very rare.

It could just be the pics, but I thought the barrel was longer?

Looks pretty good, however I agree on the tracks. Also, the right tail light should not have red in the upper oval. Only the left side has red, the right should have two black slits only.

How about a little more commentary on the builds as well. Right now, with multiple built models and a link to your eBay sales, it seems a little like free advertising to me.

The transformation, the manufacture and the color and so on, altogether have spent me about more than 1 months, the difficulty is quite big

很高兴看见有兄弟用汉语回复我,十分高兴,也有点惊诧

Model looks great! Am a fan of IDF armor too... Could you share with us what's the color combination? (Its always a challenge with IDF armor) and also the method to create the anti-slip surface?

Cheers!

TAMIYA XF65 is the essential color, joins the brown color and the French grey as well as the little yellowish pink again modulates the Israel armored vehicle special greyish-green, the concrete proportion I have not paid attention, I defer to the picture the color to complete mix colors. After the skid resistant level is makes up the earth dilutes, pokes with the writing brush.

Another nice build and as different from the British Mk. IV as you can get. I'd like to see them side by side just for comparison Thanks Bob

Bummer! All I see now are white boxes with a little red x inside. Are you guys still able to see the pics at the top of the page? I love the Mk III mod D, and it's killing me that I can't see Yu's build.

Ah! Finally got a look at the Merk. Beautiful work. I'd love to build one in 1:16th scale one of these days. Thanks for the clues to get me to his page.
