Thanks!

I thought that the Magach 6B Gal Batash used the same tracks as the Merkava. The tracks in the kit appear to be standard M-60 ones.

Actually the 6B Gal Batash has its own distinct tracks, albeit slightly similar to the all steel Merkava tracks. At present only Legends produce these correct tracks as a full resin AM set. I'm guessing the ones included here are from the Merkava MK.2 which isn't strictly correct, although admittedly most won't notice/care.

Nice review Dave. Despite the use of older parts it seems to be a fairly nice kit and cheaper than going down the resin route.

The most pictures in Michael Mass' Desert Eagle #4 are showing Merkava 2 tracks, one the combination of Merkava 2 and reinforced Batash links on the same track.
I think Friul ATL-66 tracks are the right choice if you want to change from the kits rubber ones to metal links.
