Good progress, great kit, did you see the image of the warrior on my profile, its not finished and the colour on the photograph isnt what the actual model is - darn flash - the photo is not great quality (Looked fine when i uploaded it to my computer but hey, ill just have to take another).

I think the green warrior with the Desert coloured armour would be very interesting to look at, i would consider doing that one.

James,

Make sure if you haven't attached the turret slat sections yet to the V shaped supports that you don't extend the V shaped supports outside the slat sections.....they should be flush to the edge....with two bolts on each arm securing them to the slat section.

This is a new type of armor which has been jointly developed between the USA and Israel called EVIAN2 (explosive volatile iridian armor nomex 2) as a replacement for the VOLVIC1 (volatile obstructive light vehicle irridian composite armor 1).

Currently an export specific development.


Neil

I do believe that Tsahal is also working on the Premium Explosive Reactive Rapid Iridian External Recovering.

Good project. I love the assembly has been very full. The painting is very well realized, but the wear and tear on the vehicle is extraordinary good.
