Cromwell Models is indicating item 72007 Nagmachon. Is it just me or does Israel have a thing for creating rather odd looking equipment that is better suited for a Sci-fi movie?

Hi,

Israle is in a rather unique postion. For many years they had to buy (or capture) AFV's from other countries. Many of those were a bit out of date so they had no choice but to ugrade and modify the machines they could get. ie putting M48/60 motors in their Centurians..... (35 kph..... please...)

They have had to develope machines for use in the "urban battle ground" and this forced the develeopment of some rather unique machines. What we seen in their AFV's is the reliance on the "old" afv chassis for new products...

And if you ask me the Stryker is a rather funky looking machine too....
