Merkava Mk.3 BAZ 1/35 by Meng

Once it is done it will look realy cool it seems. The details you add is going to effect the finish for sure.
 
I love the missing bits of sandpaper, looks well used and freakin excellent in my eyes.
 
Still taking a break from the sandpaper job,....to add some more details

After adding the balls & chain protection around the neck I discovered that you can't attach the turret to the main body by the tab & turn,....the body collides with the chains,....so I cut the tabs off

The turret just pushes down onto the body now

So is this based on the 5 footer or the 32"? ;D Just kidding.

Great job so far. This one is looking fantastic. Love the sandpaper texture.
 
Coming on nice John . The anti slip looks great !

Very nice stuff here John!! She is one sexy beast!! (IDF metal is just HOT) !! Well done on the anti-skid!!
 
Thanks very much guys,.....it really is a great fun kit,....loadsa tiny parts,....but so far none gone missing!!

I had a hold up on some of the anti-slip areas,.....whats left on the main body are sections with circular spots on them.....a real head scratcher

.....I ended up buying a hole punch,....used for cutting holes in leather:

The sandpaper looks great, way more consistent than my technique, yet probably more time consuming. Keep up the good work.
