Ingo thanks a lot.
It does have the usual presence of IDF vehicles alright but the kit was a mojo killer. build had a lot of problems besides the actual vehicle has a lot of differences vs the model because at it's core this is a tamiya m60 copy with era blocks and minerollers thrown in. alas all the resin aftermarket sets needed to make this into a relatively accurate magach is costing a kidney so OOB it had to be.. 🙁

No matter what, it still looks very good. 🙂
I got my eyes on the new scalemates.com/kits/1072560-dragon-3581-m60-w-era
But its a little bit too expensive in my opinion. 🙁

besides the price i'd check for accuracy. with their earlier idf related releases dragon dropped the ball terribly iirc.

Unfortunately that Dragon kit is highly inaccurate. The Urdan cupola is wrong, the bore evacuator on the barrel is also wrong and it suffers from all the other accuracy issues that the M60 kit of Dragon is exhibiting.
On the other hand AFV Club has some very good M60 kits and they have also announced a Magach 6 (they will show it at the Nuremberg show) which is what that Dragon kit is supposed to be.
And i can only hope they will also do a USMC M60A1 Blazer

And also Murad, very nice work on the kit 🙂
Are the figures included in the kit?

Hey Dan thank you for the information. Will wait for the AFV M60 Blazer then. 😄
Was thinking to get the M60A2 and A3 from AFV but need to build some kits to get space for new ones. 🙂

Dan thank you very much for the clarification, somehow i am not surprised i tell you that much for this is their trend for the past several years, do every museum piece ww2 german subject to their tiniest *restored!* detail and flake all the modern armor which has a ton of subject matter and actual living human beings for reference. it would make sense if the price point was favourable but that ain't neither.

as for the figures, everything is out out box you see in the picture bar the Israeli flag, that belongs to the household laser printer 😄
