These are great news! 
Great days for modern IDF! Now we only need a Merkava 2D, a Puma APC, a Namer APC and a Nagmachon with Doghouse! Meng what do you think?

That was supposed to be announced in place of Leo1, but some things got out of hand. But there you have it a support vehicle based on an Eastern tank. And some thought it was BMPT

YES ,
I have been waiting for someone to finally make an Achzarit in plasic. I tryed the Legend one once but, that didn't go as planned.
I'll start making room for one (or 2 ) of these

Why do they call it early version? Is there an Achzarit late version? 
OR the late version is the same APC with improved armament like crows and other RWS? I thought that the Achzarit would be replaced by the Namer!

I have no idea what this is but I like it, I like its low profile, does it come in camo or just plain sand colour? Really trying to mix up the colours I have on display

Late version of Achzarit- Achzarit Beth have Centurion road wheels, new tracks and improved powerpack-engine and transmission.
This is Achzarit Beth with commander's armoured cupola and towing hooks:

Looks awesome. I hope they expand on the T-55 line.

New T-55 would be awesome. Granted it would be expensive but considering that Tamiya kit isn't cheap either. But Meng would come with PE atleast. From what it seems it'll come with vinyl tracks. A bit of a shame.

What are "one piece TPE tracks"? Like Tamiya's flexible tracks?

Guess I better get my unbuilt Legends version up on ebay before word gets out..
I'm excited for an injection plastic one for sure, and it might even rate as a bench clearer, shoving aside other projects already in progress..

Looks like I will be finding out if "Buying too many Meng kits" is legal grounds for divorce.

Robin,
Like the way you think. Maybe we can get some Israeli Shermans out of that equation too. A new M50 is sorely needed.

Great news, but I kind of expected it. Time to go back to my neglected Legend conversion.
