Pretty good job on the Merkava. Congrats.

I would be pleased if you could explain the colors used and the ratios. I have an Academy Merkava III in line waiting for production.

Best regards

Very fine work, I like a lot the painting and weathering and will try that base color. only one thing... Maybe a change of wheels, I've never seen a Merkava IIID with that kind of rubber-rimmed wheels, maybe like Merkava IV-like wheels or steel rimmed wheels like this:



Or maybe "mixed" wheels (steel-rimmed wheels along with rubber-rimmed wheels, just like WWII T-34/76 model 1942). Thanks for sharing. Best regards.

José.

Kolche:

Hello José.
Thanks.
Yes you are right. Followed replace running skating rinks. But the model gathered to order. And the person has wanted to leave skating rinks type-setting. And so, certainly it is better to replace them.
