Hey,

I thought I'll post some images on the progress of my Italeri M60 for you to judge and teach me what I'm doing wrong.

This is still work in progress but feel free to point out even the obvious. Thanks!

Wow - when did Italeri start molding it in grey? Looks pretty good, just make sure you fill in those vertical slots on the lower hull sides, I think they were originally put in there to help fitting onto the upper hull. The turret armor blocks look a little wonky - might want to check some reference photos for proper placement.

Thanks Jim! Indeed the ERA blocks are a bit misplaced. Noticed that after the build was done already.

If you want to make it accurate you'll need the wind sensor on the back of the turret to go with the thermal wrap gun. The pre wind sensor Magach 6 had the standard 105mm and the thermal wrapped that you have was an upgrade that included the wind sensor. Ask me how I know, , , ,cheers.

Hallo Cristian,

I personally replace the antenna mounts with parts from Djiti`s Production. Also not e that the TI telephone box sits a little higher and could use some more detailing. Last but not least, check references about the IDF foldable strecher. Hardly anyone ever noticed that the stretcher has only two grips, but should have four.

Cheers
