Primary painting completed! :thumbsup:

I'm going to start work on weathering & assembling some of it over the next couple of days (mostly the undersides) & then I'll work on the camo scheme.

Going to have to find a commander figure, too. Pretty sure I've got a few lying around ... somewhere. ;)

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Merkavas & Centurions are my biggest armoured weaknesses; I have about 5 of each. :blink:

Let's see:

Merkava I - 2 x Tamiya
Merkava I hybrid - 1 x Takom
Merkava 2D (I think) - 1 x Academy?
Merkava Mk.3D Late LIC - 1 x Meng
Merkava 4 LIC - 1 x Academy (nearing completion)
Merkava Mk.4M w/Trophy APS (Active Protection Systems) - 1 x Meng

Namer APC (derived from Merkava) - 2 x Meng

Centurion Mk.1 - 1 x AFV Club
Centurion Mk.3 Korean War - 1 x AFV Club
Centurion Mk.3 - 1 x Tamiya (sent to Wardukw, aka Phill)
Centurion Mk.5/1 4RTR - 1 x AFV Club
Centurion Mk,5/1 RAAC Vietnam War - 2 x AFV Club
Centurion Sh'ot Kal - 1 x AFV Club

AFV Club has an awesome range of Centurions &, between them, Takom & Meng have the Merkava covered beautifully.

I am so-o glad my wife can't see this as I type! :angel:

I agree about AFV Club and their Centurions, I only have the Centurion Sh'ot Kal and the 5/2 . 6 (NATO) 105 versions and wouold like to get a very late version as well.

Oh, bugger! Scratch that Tamiya Centurion from the list! I was working from memory, as most of the kits are in the shed, & forgot I'd sent that one to you. :banghead:
