So I'm dragging the old dog of an Academy Merkava II across the finish line, off the shelf of shame and into the display case.
Looking at their instructions, there is little to no decent info on the detail painting of the turret fittings.

Has anyone got a set of Takom Merkava II instructions they could share the color/detail callouts for turret fitting paintings?

Mike;

I'm in the midst of the Takoma Merkava 2b as we "speak". What specific details are you looking at for color detail info? There are lots of photos around the Web that may help - and notably there is evidently some fair variation among tanks as to colors of (painted) bits and pieces.
