I know that kitmaker has it`s own IDF forum,but i thought i`d post this here in the hopes that some benevolent mainstream manufacturer might read it and comment.
Why has no-one produced an injection moulded IDF tank transporter ?.I have read through both this and the IDF forums and found that this seems to be high on a lot of people`s wish lists - especially the Mack version with the low loader.so why has`nt anyone capalatized on it ?,as an alternative version it could also be decalled-up as a U.S. version in Germany in the 60`s.
So come`on Revell/Trumpeter/Academy/Dragon ETC. - Step up to the plate,the demand IS there !!

while there are no IDF specific tank transporters, you can build an IDF version of the 'Diamond T transporter'. The IDF uses(used) standard Mack volvo and scammel rigs with I'm fairly certain off the shelf trailers. There have been discussions online that discuss the need in the IDF for a more modern set up. Though I have seen no photos of late model designed for the military tank specific tranporters.

I feel the same way about the need for some older and newer IDF Armor Transport trucks. Armouredcharmer what we need in a letter full of signatures(Emails with screen names) to send to some of these company about this Kit idea.
