Hi,

Does anyone know of a company producing 1/35 Trophy ADS for Meng and other producers of MERKAVA tanks...

Plus... what is the best site to look for aftermarket add-ons for 1/35 kits? If there is such place...

Thanks for your help......
All the best,
Kip.

ET Model and Voyager both make the "Droid" for the Merkava. As for shopping, Luckymodel and Hobbyeasy generally carry a good range of am items. White Ensign Models has a decent selection too

Kip, is it the Trophy parts you're after or the droid?

The droid is as Jason said available from ET models and Voyager. Model-minature also sell one in their merkava 4 upgrade kit. I have all three and personally I prefer the model minatures version (better size and all resin so easier to put together!).

If its the trophy system you're after, only one company AFAIK was going to make them but when I contacted them a while ago, I was told its on hold at the moment:

Jim, Jason, hi,

Thanks for your help...

Yes... it’s Trophy that I am after as I believe it has become standard kit... for now... .

Thanks again.... am surprised more after market companies do not produce it... for a “current...” IV is needed... I think.

All the best,
Kip.
