IN his first ON Display feature for the site, Jim Carswell shows us his superb IDF Magach 7 based on the Aacademy kit and the AEF Designs conversion, plus many scratch-built items. Thanks Jim!

Jim,
I really like the M60 series and you done a fine job on this variant. Looks nice and beefy. I'd go .

I agree. Israel seem to have a knack for extending the operational life of all their equipment. Too bad we can't do the same...

BTW, The model looks great!
