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  . Be aware of those glue fumes John, they can be wicked when you're not used to them  . Good to see you back, and I reckon you will not leave it unpainted

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:

Starting with 3 wheels, 
Here they are :

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

Worked on the Merkava wheels.    
I need a better camera to get the serial numbers on the wheels, there are 3 serial numbers on the wheels.
