I would like to make the Merkava main tank of the Israeli army from MENG. The box is thick and the number of paMerkavarts is quite large. I have made Academy and Hobby Boss before, but this is the first time for MENG.
In the Merkava IIID, the rolling wheels were originally equipped with rubber tires, but in the improved version, all-metal rolling wheels were adopted. For this kit, we can choose either rubber tires or steel rolling wheels. This time, the kit says that it is a late model, so I made it with steel rolling wheels. This type is a little harder to assemble because there are many parts divided.
I assemble small parts to attach to the side of the rolling wheel and chassis. I don’t know how much this part is hidden by the side skirt, but it seems that there are many parts that can’t be seen even if the parts are attached too closely. However, it is not comfortable to omit the work, so I assemble it all at once.
I’m building the chassis little by little. I can’t say it well, but it’s a little hard to make. It is not clear where to fix the part. I wonder if I can wrap the tracks properly. I’m worried until I check it out.
LICs are vehicles with Low Intensity Conflicts. Hooks at the front and back of the vehicle, large anti-mine plates at the bottom of the vehicle, and hatch for the Commander are all LIC specifications. But why does the hook protect the occupants? Perhaps they will also be equipped with anti-tank mine plates.

If the article is short, there will be a lot of advertisements in the middle, so I will post some pictures of the finished products in the past below.
