Hello Lads,

Upon returning home for the holdidays I've unpacked one of my shelf queens, an Academy Merkava IV LIC. This is at a ready for painting stage, with the addition of Legend's basket set and ET's ball & chain armor.

I think I'd might add something else too to make it more operational/up to date, what can you recommend please? I checked the battle droids but I am a bit confused... If I add that do I need additional features? I have also checked Black Dog's Tropy set but that is a bit more expensive so I'd optfor the cooler and cheaper "droid"

Thanks & happy holidays!

If you choose to go with the droid, here's a few pics of 'One Bet' which was photographed several times in Op Cast Lead. It has belly armour only and the side skirts may be different than the kit ones (it's been a while since I built mine...). It didn't have all the LIC screens. HTH,

Jim




(actually noticed this isn't the exact same tank; the Battalion number is [2].)
