WOW! GREAT build! I love every bit of your detailing. May I ask what paints/colors you used, and which method to apply the anti-slip? Everything looks really real, to me! Wish I could build something 1/10 that good!

Impressive build you have
Just a question regarding the quality of parts were they warp free or out of wack I hope my build goes this well.

cheers Ben

Hi Curt,
Thanks for your compliments. My anti slip & paint are done the same way as my Merk 4 on this thread.

Hi Benjamin,
FYI. The cannon, commander cupola, mortar & the 2 MGs are from the donor Academy M60 Blazer kit. The 0.5 on the cannon is from another Legend resin set with the barrel replaced with a plastic one. Some bolts on the skirts needed replacing as well.
All the above including the under belly armour from Legend are completely out of wack.
Oh yea, the steel road wheels are from a Tamiya M48.
Cheers

Hi Guys,
Haven't sign in to this site for a while due to work.
Thanks guys for your comments & compliments. Have gotten myself Academy's Merk 4 LIC & Meng's Merk 3D last June but have no time to work on it yet. Am thinking of doing a nice clean Merk 4 for a change. Any thoughts???
Will post something when they're done
Cheers

Great build! I always love the IDF vehicles, often they seem like live versions of "what if" builds. Their "lets turn what we got into what we need" attitude usually leads to some interesting looking vehicles like this one. You've done a masterful job in creating it, great work!
