Hey guys,

my copy of the above book arrived the other day and i can whole heartedly recommend this book/magazine to anyone who has an interest in modern Tsahal armour.

The build articlkes are well illustrated, with good captions. the accompanying text is a little on the sparse side, but is adequate for the task. All of the builds featured are conversions mainly using the Legend sets and some of them are definately not for the faint of heart, as anyone who has done the ball and chain builds on a Merkava will tell you.

As well as the build articles, you get shorter articles on how to make sandbags, apply the anti slip texture, how to make chips and tips on painting. There is a full kit list in the back, as well as a comprehensive list of After Market items.

Once again, if you have an interest in the Tshal then this book is a must, and to me, is a "steal" at £10.75 plus P&P. Other books of this sze and quality easily retail for a much higher price....miss it at your own peril

Hey Nick,

i got my copy from here

http://www.historexagents.com/

I have dealt with them a few times and they have always been very prompt and helpful.

As for other books on the Tsahal? I am afraid i only have history books that relate to the battles, and are not really for modellers, sorry:(
