Hello,

I am looking at purchasing the Legends Magach 6B Batash conversion in the next couple of months, but I'm struggling for decent references. Unlike the Merkava tank I can find very few decent pics for use. I have looked at the Israeli Weapons website, Prime Portal, The IDF modelling site and the IDF Forum site but to no avail. I also have the book on IDF Tanks and Infantry Carriers by Marsh Gelbart but there are only a couple of pics. If anyone can recommend any decent books or references it would be gratefully appreciated. I have also tried searching on Yahoo and Getty Images but it is almost impossible to spend so much time searching through all the pictures in the hope of finding several decent Batash pics (I have only found a handful of mediocre ones!!!)

Thanks

Toby Knight

Legend along with Desert Eagle Publishing will be coming out with an IDF Armor series. The first one is out (just got it) on the Magach 6B Gal (Part 1). The second is on Merkava Mk.III and the third is on Magach6B Gal and Gal Batash (Part 2).

Useful info, thanks!

My copy of the first one is on its way, but I didn't know about the others. That's good news!
