Hello,

I have just brought a Revell Merkava Mk III in 1/72nd scale. I was drawn to this tank by the recent happenings in Gaza. I'd like to know if this purchase was a good choice or not? I coulden't afford a 1/35th scale model after my last purchase, a Strv.122 HKCW conversion with the Tamiya Leopard 2A5. £70! But It was well worth it though. I am getting a little now, I have seen Merkavas with a Olive drab paint scheme, should I paint in this colour? I am going to weather it with MiG pigments, any ideas what one I should use?

Please sent your thoughts and ideas!
