First of all, my thanks to Mike Land for pointing me towards the I.D.F. Armor group Forums. The new release from Legend Productions will be a FULL, 1/35th scale resin kit - which for the I.D.F. (Israeli Defence Force) enthusiast should be a very welcome release indeed...

Legend Productions sensibly concentrate (in their armor releases) on two specific areas - Allied Armor upgrades/conversions and vehicles of the Israeli Defence Forces. They are also co-operating closely with a specialized publisher - Desert Eagle Publishing whose first book is already available: the second will be available shortly.

Dealing with the Legend release first, this will be a Merkava 3BAZ - this is a FULL kit, NOT a simple conversion (see images at the side).

Moving onto the books, the first (already available) is:

Magach 6B Gal M60A1 in IDF Service Pt 1

The next will be:

Merkava Siman 3 - Merkava Mk. 3 in IDF Service Part 1 (See photo at the side)
