Good afternoon,
A while back there was an announcement of an upcoming 1/35 release of an IDF jeep. On the CAD picture I noticed that the MG34 mount was the later type, so it was obviously modeled after a museum restoration, based on Tom Gannon's new book "IDF Jeeps". Has anyone heard anything lately?
Best regards,
Alan

Thank you, Sam, yes, this one. That is a modern MG34 mount, is it not?

Funny, I can't find it on any of the online US shops I frequent. Guess I will have to branch out!
Thank you!

I picked up mine DIRT CHEAP at Dragon USA a couple months ago. I think it was about $12 plus shipping. But, that was the only way I was going to buy it though.

Wasn't the anniversary of the Six Day War 51 years ago?
At any rate, this looks strikingly like one a did over twenty years ago using Verlinden (?) dry transfers. I don't remember the mount looking like that though. Also did one with a Boys anti-tank rifle. Maybe they should offer more diverse markings and different weapons to make it more appealing. It doesn't really matter - not for me.

Yeah, I'm hoping for a few other weapons too.
