Well at the stage I'm at right now. All I have done is the painted under belly and wheels. Now I have started working on the upper rear section., but I don't what to show that as I have more photos to go with that. So for now or till I get both the upper left and right rear sections done and photographed. I'll show my test fit of the tracks. Now I haven't put in the last pin. The tracks don't fit around the sprocket all that well!

I've had that problem on a few builds too...

I just file down the sprocket teeth a little bit until they fit.

Hi there,

You have a very interesting build going on. I am also intrigued by this vehicle and I have started building my own. Not sure if I can manage to get as far as you but I am sure going to try. Will be using this thread as reference. By the way, how's the article of the namera in the tankograd? I am considering picking it up. I need more arial shots, those that offer views of the Cuppula arrangement. Anyway, your work has been awesome so far. Please dun give up. Thank you.

Regards,
Desmond

Hay guys I just ran across an article, stating this: General Dynamics to develop Namer APC for IDF.
Move will increase the survivability of Israeli military forces; Israel in negotiations with several countries over Merkava sale.

So what do you all think of Israel to export the Merkava Armor? I'm going to start a stand alone post of this as well.


Good, yours will probably be the better anyways

As far as exporting the Merkava, I don't see it really happening with anybody that relies on air mobility. However clients who's first matter of business is home defense, well that's a different matter...
