Hi fellas !!!
It's been awhile, long story short, I am back building. It will be a cold start, with a "Dry Build",
Simple, just Glue, blades and cleaning up.
No paint, just building plastic from a big box and with luck, it will look like a Tank.
I picked this one from the pile, the box is also damaged from the car accident, but the contents are ok.

Now this is going to be good ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) . Be aware of those glue fumes John, they can be wicked when you're not used to them ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) . Good to see you back, and I reckon you will not leave it unpainted ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

In Step 1, you must select either option A or B, and these options are shown in Step 6 ....

I will pick option B, with both wheels.
These are the sprues I'll be working with:

Good choice John, I would do the same. There's plenty of photographic evidence out there that these vehicles had a mix of road wheels ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

Worked on the Merkava wheels. ![](https://i.ibb.co/2FVnJKQ/Merkava3-Meng-025.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/R0s9Czz/Merkava3-Meng-026.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/rsGsnGg/Merkava3-Meng-027.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/SwSBtpc/Merkava3-Meng-028.jpg)
I need a better camera to get the serial numbers on the wheels, there are 3 serial numbers on the wheels.
