New to Israeli armor. Current build is the Academy kit of the above. What would be the proper AM replacement for the kit rubber bands, M48/M60 or Merkava tracks? Thanks for the help.

I the Fruil ATL-66 track set for the Merkava for mine. There is a Batash track set in resin for the track on the tanks left side in the picture. The track on the tanks right side is Merkava track.

I have not compared Spade vs Fruil Merkava tracks side by side.

Looking at Ebay, depending on where you go, and the track type, the cost is about the same, around 30.00 US, plus shipping. I have had good luck with a vendor in Poland, so that is where I go for Fruils. I can wait for a couple weeks to get tracks.
