My wife asked me 'what do you want for Christmas... and don't say any of that plastic junk'.


Looks like a nice kit.

So your wife is wise and aware of the dreaded Dragon Black Label kits. Just tell her this kit is a Meng jewel

Dear Richard

They cannot give you an option, as Mk. 4M is a tank version, not a system only.
Every produced tank foe last years is A MERKAVA Mk. 4M.

The WPC (What People Call) Droid, is an add on system that doesnt change the AFV designation, if I well understood.

Hey, guys, what do you think the likelihood is of a Voyager aftermarket set made for the Meng Merkava 3D being appicable to the majority of the hull parts to their new, upcoming Mark 4? I know we can't predict how they will construct the new model, but given the similarities between the hulls on a Mark 3 and Mark 4 Merkava, I'm guessing that there might be some decent carryover to PE parts on models. But what do you think?

I don’t think so. The Mk.III hull is actually very similar to that of the Mk.II. The Mk.IV has a completely newly designed hull.

I have Meng's Leopard 2A7 (TS-027) and it is truly a masterpiece. If Meng follows suite (which I see no reason not to) with this new Merkava Mk. 4M as they did with their Leopard 2A7, then it too should be a masterpiece as well. I can't wait to get my hands on this new kit!
