Happy new year to all,
Accurate or not, here is my Academy Merk Mk 3 completed a while back except for the antennas, which get in the way of storage. Will fix those once I,ve got a place to display it properly.
Other than the Legend's MG at the barrel pretty much straight out of box.
Feedback welcome.

Very nice Lee. A very convincing rendition of one of my favourite AFVs. The only coment that I have is that the vynil tracks may ruin the overall look of the Merkava. Maybe you should invest in some individual link tracks.

Really nice work, the weathering is well done.

As has been said, indy link tracks would would really bring it to another level.

If you could e-mail me at [email protected] 15-20 pics i will build an On Display Feature for upload to Armorama
