hi

this is one of my current projects

it is a representation of an IDF Tiran 5 tank with a dozer blade

kits used are:
T55A tamyia
Tiran 5 conversion by blast models
Dozer Blade by Verlinden
Tracks by FruilModel
Accessories are from various sources
in addition to the bare basic scratch built details for a T tank

some details will require to be re-done such as
the diesel tubing
the front fender latches
side latches
also, nuts and bolts all over the tank boxes to replicate an authantic look to give the impression of true tie-down to the parts and components onto the tank body, hull and turret



enjoy

Nice build. I see you finally got your Blast Models conversion

Is the book by Samer Kassis worth buying? Does it cover all the Tiran4/5, I mean SLA and IDF?

TIA

My bad! A promise must be kept unless you're a politician

Thanks for the opinion about Samer's book.
