Hi Guys,
I'm looking for a bit of guidance here please. I recently picked up Concord's Tank Battles of the Mid-East Wars Vol 2 and it's got me interested in doing some IDF "stuff". Can anyone advise what plastic kits are out there: I've found a M151, M113 fitter and a Merkeva (Mk2?) plus some very nice, and expensive, resin upgradre for Humvee's. Am I missing anything obvious? Leaving out the purly resin stuff of course....

Thanks,
Sean

Legend has many conversion sets available. I just picked up a Zelda 2 set (reactive armor) for a 113. Academy has a couple different M60's. Here's a great site displaying lots of IDF models, even some of mine.
