I got the primer on the M-50 and just a few spots I have to clean up. I also got the set of DS Tracks ready to go, after gluing on 158 individual track teeth. The crew figures were taken from my Academy M51 refurb and these figures are more suited to the '67 War due to the uniform style and helmets. I just added a holster and binos to the tank commander. Getting closer.....

A slight swivel of the turret and it could take the driver's head off!!!

Thanks, Tommy but the IDF does very little without a reason or purpose in their tank designs/mods, hence the 6-0 record in the arena of tank combat. I will be painting and masking all the company/platoon markings on the vehicle and the ID stripe on the turret top as well so I laid down a background of Tamiya White.
