ok, so here are the pics to show I have not started this yet! Note, the pink (ROSE, ahem...) phone belongs to the wife!
Not really starting this yet, will likely do some as the week rolls on! I think I am going to stick with the "band" type tracks, but planning to go all out to make this girl look like the weathered soldier she was by the time of the '82 Lebanon invasion (Operation Peace for Galilee, I think it was called)

Mikey, I have been reading alot on the period running from end of WW1 thru modern-day that formed (and continue to form) the modern Israel. One of the best bookd BY FAR is "Never Ending Conflict" by Mordechai Bar-Chon. It details all the uprisings, minor and major, using 1936 as the real starting point for actual violence (though the British Accords in 1917 Parliament are covered).
SO I am REALLY liking the tank you see at 1:50 in the attached video that I had earlier posted:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9a-jRnMUMnI
really makes me think, "what happened to that other half of the mine-roller?" And "Can I get a 'still' pic of that vehicle?" (maybe someone here can help?)
Anyway, as looking at weathered Centurions and Centurions encumbered with stowage + weathering, and found these, hope I do the model justice:

Bruce - you might go ask at Armorama if anyone has any photos of that particular tank. There are guys over there with amazing photo collections!

Good choice should be a kool build. I totally agree with that time hack 1:50 Shot Kal is an excellent subject. I also really like the one sitting in a field of sunflowers. I think you should combine the two...now that would really be Kool!! :coolio
:v

So if you go with the Shot Kal(meaning "Whip" in Hebrew...that's kinda of kool) with the one mine roller you'll need a kit for that.....Say "Thank You Mr. Miniart" B)
Now you'll still need the mounting plate that sits on the front of the tank and as luck would have it legend productions makes one... :dance
The source to get one...Evilbay. That being said I have done business with this guy and he is excellent, though a bit pricey. BTW he also has a nice stowage set for the Sho't Kal.
And lastly here are a couple of shots I found while doing the research for this post...
Have fun!!

WHICH ONE???
Ok so the part started today!!!!
So since this is going "all out", I am gonna do so by making this into a full blown vinette!
I am inspired by the pic of the tank in a field of sunflowers:
Plus I think I am going to add a Mine roller to the front. All in due time, of course! So got started and was quite surprised to see actual springs used in the suspension to make it articulate!
And here we are about 4 hours in. The multi=piece upper hull has a though fir, I would rate the build so far as 'hard', but it is still doable and the detail is really impressive, this being my first ever AFV kit
So that was it for Saturday, hope to get some more work in tomorrow!
