Hi all,
I would like to have info on the last kit of Meng's Merkava 4, this reference:
https://www.scalemates.com/kits/meng-ts-036-merkava-mk4m--1108893
I have the impression that among the existing kits, this is the best. You confirm?
I would also like to know which upgrades I can buy from the list visible on Scalemates. Or others who are not on the site.
https://www.scalemates.com/search.php?fkSECTION[]=All&q=Merkava+4+merka*&fkSCALE[]=%221:35%22&fkTYPEGROUP[]=%22Merkava%204%22
I don't want to buy anachronistic or inconsistent parts with Meng's kit. ET models makes several sets for Meng but it is not very clear on the exact content of the kits ...

Legend's Rear Hull Basket Set is specifically designed for MENG's kit and fits perfectly.

I strongly suggest that you also get a set of metal tracks as the kit tracks are the weakest part of this kit.
Good Luck

Meng makes a rear hull storage basket set for the mark 4 however Others have said there were fit problems with them.
Magic Models mark 4M metal barrel is very nice.

thx for replies guys!
Yes I see for tracks. I like friul tracks, I've mounted them on my tiger /panther. With burnishing fluid, it's nice.
no other upgrade kits?

I believe Legend also makes a turret basket.
