My Israeli M-60A1 Batash any comments welcomed

Bret,

You might want to make the picture a little larger and remove that square with the red X in it.

The tank looks great. Although, you may want to tighten up those tracks. I don't think it would get very far with that large of a sag. Also, you can see the inner half of the road wheels are lacking paint. Next time, you can take your razor knife to the rubber part of the wheels and hack them up to show wear and tear.

Hi Bret
This is a scratch build it? It looks very good.

Outstanding scratch build project. That's what makes those comments by Mat stand out so. Can't see how you missed painting the inner wheels, but there isn't much you can do about it now. As for the tread sag, can you remove one link from each track?

Over all, I still think it's a great build. Congrats.

No not scratch built its a goffy model conversion which wasnt that good many broken and wrapped parts and poor molds.My dremel tool and punch set got a work out on this one.The side skirts rear storage basket and mantel armor are scratch built these were either broken or a very poor mold to where they were unuseable.The base is Academy's IDF M-60A1 and the road wheels are off a tamiya M-48 I had in the stash the tracks are off of a MERK1 and yes they are alittle to long.I painted it with Tamiya acrylic paint Warpigs wash enamel dry brush Warpigs pigments.

"Goffy" model? I was under the impression they only did small-scale pieces......If this is 1/35, I'm curious about price and availability, as the Legends Batash conversion is well out of my modeling budget.
Also, it's no biggie to get some paint in the insides of the roadwheels, and Academy's Merk tracks are a bit sucky, either long or short, and stiff......

Yes this is 1/35th scale and I picked this up from a vendor at a show a few years ago it was a poor casing many warped and broken parts.I had to scratch build many of the partsand ya the tracks are alittle sucky.If you want a conversion kit try (www.umm-usa.com) . Hopefully that helps

Yes, it helps......
I'd be willing to do some repairs/fixes, just to get the basic parts.......
I'm guessing it's no longer in production?

That I'm not sure if the conversion is out of production or not the last time I was at the web site it was still in stock. Just try and see what happens.Good luck to you

Will do, thanks.
