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.

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.
