Hi to all. This is my second post in armorama.

Before I was made models in 1:72 scale, I made these two IDF tanks using an old Bandai's kit and Hobby Boss's M4A3E8 (1:48).

I haven't painted yet, in the other sides, because I haven't obtained a decent picture about the manual pump.

Those are really sweet scratchbuilds. I look forward to seeing them when painted (although like them best just as they are...).

Very nice scratch work Pedro perhaps when you are finished you will consider sending in a build or photo feature.

I agree with Darren and encourage you to consider a submitting photos for a build story or photo feature for this build, most impressive!

Thanks to all.

Darren, it is a good idea but before, I need to finish the model. I have looked for good pictures about these two parts. Perhaps somebody can help to me.


Blackwater: I have seen your Magach6B and you are making an excellent model too.

Cheers. Pedro

Fantastic work, Pedro. They look excellent!

I saw the Sherman moving target myself during my recent visit to the Israeli armour museum in Latrun. A novel idea although I did not want to be the driver when the bullets start to hit the armour.

Thanks for sharing

Thank Jesper.

To drive a tank (if you aren't in combat) is funny but I wouldn't like to drive this monster.

Cheers. Pedro.

Hi Pedro,

Great work you did!

Here are some shots I made back in 2005 at Hatzerim.
I hope they are of some use.

Now that is impressive! You've got such incredible scratchbuilding skills it's almost a shame to paint them. Really excellent work.
