Why Hobbyboss? I'd figure they'd go with the Academy one as a base kit. Does the HB IV have the same screwed up turret dimensions that the III does?

The Trophy kit received a lot of flak on IDF modeling website. It doesn't seem to be accurate:

What is the difference between Windbreaker and Trophy systems? Are they separate systems or will/can they be used together?

Windbraker and Trophy are the names for the same system.
The Voyager wrongly named their PE A267 set as "Windbraker", and these two systems cannot be use together on one tank.

Seems to be there are accuracy problems with most of their sets anyway.

They look good but don't check references or else...

Cheers,

Yeah, I think so. Although I don't have reliable drawings to compare it with, the HB Merkava 4 turret looks 'squashed' in profile, whereas the Academy one looks pretty much right.
