I am building Meng's Merkava IV with the trophy system for a commission build and want to speed up the process and replace the labor intensive Meng tracks with the link and length tracks from Academy's Merkava IV

If someone has the tracks or the entire kit that they no longer want or need

any help will be greatly appreciated

The Academy tracks are way off in thickness, i thinks it's far better for your model look to build the Meng ones.

I want to speed up the build not prolong it so I can move on to the next build

I have a set from an Acadmy Merkava IV, but I would need to trade for your set of Meng Tracks so I can still build my kit.

Let me know if you’re interested via PM or email to ltcjanelsonATattDOTnet.
