A couple of magach's,

A question about the mounting of the mine roller system, is this ok for mounting to the glacis?

Dryfit, cupolla can't turn...

Assembled the first tracks, had to add some plastic tracks that will not be visible afterwards. Modelltrans tracks and roadwheels are nice, but there is a shortage in links unfortunately...

The CMK Magach 7a conversion, a world of difference with the Black Dog kit, much nicer casting, no broken parts

Ready to apply the new tracks

Added the hooks that suspend the towcables

Made some towcables and a spade

Mg's soldered... not perfectly aligned at the muzzles, but it's 3 layers and size you can compare with the butchers knife...

Mounting brackets for the spade added

Ready for primer, thought I could have done this in the weekend... alas...

the Belgian all-blacks... all in primer, the new Mr. Surfacer black edition... what a joy to work with...

Been busy with these for a while, progress is slow. Have a question about the mounting of the mineroller system. Is the way the frame is mounted to the hull correct as shown here? Or should it be flush?

I've assembled the second track set, which was a direct copy of the Revell Merkava III tracks. It needed some cutting and removing some cast tracks to the sprockets to make them fit. Still some minor details to add, but track sets are ready to paint...

Only things to do are the mg's, some ammo crates, and the skirts in the Magach 7a

ready for primer... thought to be a little further yet with this one... MG's are soldered... three layers that need to be perfectly aligned... not perfect, but I'm satisfied...

it's works more nice then the regular Mr surfacer IMHO, it is for sure not such a pain to get it through your airbrush...

Hmm. Great. Does it come in 500/1000/1200 grades, like the grey stuff?
