OK--

I'm going nuts trying to find a decent crew set for the Academy Merkava IV LIC.

I mean, I *hear* about a lot of cool IDF stuff...but I can never find it for sale.

Any ideas?

Thanks

They look good--how do they scale with Dragon or CMK figures (I've got quite a mix-n-match set on hand for what I have in mind).

Thanks,

I'm not sure those would be good for MkIV... the IDF tank crew now wears different overalls with helmet similar to US CVC. These might be more appropriate: link

We are on the same wavelength I think--I just ordered those two from Lucky Hobby--they seemed the best bet.

I've examples of MasterClub stuff on the net too--also looks more appropriate for the LIC.

Thanks all for the help!

I was thinking of getting those as well. Can you please post some pics when you receive the set? Thanks!
