Folks,

The Takom Merkava 1 loader's hatch is molded so that it looks like it has a pad on the inside. Is it a pad and what color do I paint it?

Thanks

Dave

Same color with the tank's exterior color. I am looking for a decent photo to post. Might not be a pad.

If it doesn't have a pad I would certainly assume that we are talking the exterior color. I have seen models with it dark grey but I hate to trust a model. I haven't been able to find a photo yet.

Thanks

I have this one that shows it th same color with the exterior:



and this from the factory, check the second turret on the right bottom corner:

I found this one. You are right.

How do I post this as an image?

Just put the URL between "img" and "/img" tags like:

and you'd get:

Both photos on the site are Merkava II

Thanks. I actually suspected a Merkava 2 but I believe it is the same hatch.

I will try posting pictures from home later. I am on a work computer and they are not always image friendly. Is that photo hosted on Pinterest or Armorama?

It is very similar but I do not know if it is the same. Both photos I posted are hosted on postimage.
