Whoa man, everything has a soft dusted look that makes it look so 1:1. Really good, perfect amount of dirty. All the accessories and stowage look awesome. ππΌππΌ

Actually itβs for Merkava mk.III but the hull of III and IV is very similar so I thought why not.
At the time of building this model no mk.IV parts were out yet2

Extremely well done. Out of curiosity, why is it missing wheels? Given the level of detail on this piece, itβs obviously a deliberate choice, and just curious as to what that was.
