good day to all, i started today to do the meng mekava, i wil try to give one first opinion, I m not one really expert in IDF but i been in the army for 35 years and for 11 i been spending time in the border between Israel and Lebanon the border called ROSH ANIKRA and also METULLA, SO FOR WHAT I SEEN and i had the occasion to see from close , and for what i visited the meng model is to large for me is out of the scale, i agree the mold is say very good ,no pewrfect it has amny clean to do , MENG COULD AVOID TO PUT IN THE BIOX THAT RIDICULUS CHAIN AND BALS TO BE ATTACCHED ON THE BACK OF THE TURET FOR RPG PROTECTION SHOUL MAKE MODELER PAY SOME BACKS MORE AND PUT INSIDE THE METAL ONE , THAT IS MY OPINION , I SAY AGAIN I M NOT AN EXPERT IN THAT VEICHLE MY FIELS WAS IN HELICOPTER BUT IN MANY YEAR I GOT SOME OPNION , AND I CAN SAY I BECAME ONE IDF ARMURED VEICHCLE AND IN AERONATIC VEICHLEL TAHT I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SE FROM CLOSE AND ALSO TO TEST

Wow, I'd like to have your eyes and sense of proportion! To be able to tell a 1:35 model is too big just because you've seen a real one and 'been in the Army'. Funny, most people loved the plastic ball'n chain, saves a lot of work from the alternative method eg. Legend or Voyager. Any reason to re-start a 6 month old thread? AND TAKE OFF THE CAPS LOCK!

Respectfully submitted,
Jim
