The other day while browsing I came across this new (to me) company . I have posted the first news item, which can be seen at:
M113 Conversion set
Now shortly, another news item will be coming out on a conversion set for the IDF MAGACH 7. As a taster, here are some of the images of what promises to be an interesting piece:

Their stuff looks interesting, especially the Modern German figures.
I hae not heard back from them yet.
Do you have any info on pricing, payment, shiping costs?

Thanks for the link.
The 1/72 accessories and interior line-up look very interesting.

Does anyone know of a US Vendor, such as Squadron, who carries the Goffy line...?
Their IDF crew would look great on my MerkavaIII !!
Thanks!

Is it just me or doesn´t the conversion look more like a Magach 6 BATASH than a Magach 7? Or have I totally missed something??

What you have missed is the fact that when the company informs us what they have released, I have to take it as given... The IDF is not my strong point, I can recognise some basic vehicles not however every single variant. Since you were the first to comment on this, perhaps you should take a look at the news story and THEN perhaps comment then...

yep, its the Magach 6B Gal Batash.
the difference is basically in the turret, the magach 7s are the early M60s still with the M48A5 turret while the Magach 6B Gal Batash has the newer M60A1/A3 turret thus demanding a completely different armor package.
the Magach 7C looks like that:

It wasn´t directed at you!!
I read the news story and it to said Magach 7, but I thought it looked like a BATASH. I didn´t say YOU were wrong, but maybe Goffy models were??

Why don't you follow the link to Goff's website and tell them then? The contacts I have had with them, they strike me as a very pleasant group of people. I'm sure they would be happy to get information like that. By the way, Welcome to the site!...Jim
