The figure will be a great addition, Bert! And yes, uniforms varied greatly during the Six Day War.

Excellent work & you are right about the IDF in 67, many types of helmet & uniforms were seen and worn. My old centurion build was interesting as I used some hornet heads & US and Brit figures to get an interesting look.

Well thanks everyone! Doing these figures takes almost as long as the hafltrackc itself... Fixed another figure.... So there will be at least 2 in this halftrack still thinking about some more figures, the more the merrier ...

That looks great, Bert. Stowage and figures is always a plus!

Thanks! It is actually great fun to persuade these guys to assume the correct positions... Read a good tip somewhere to use home made glue goo... so I dissolved some plactiv in Tamiya Extra thin cement, using that to fill up the cuts at knees and ellbows.. And the standing guy's legs were a copy of the legs next to him...

Great idea.

Thanks! And it works really easy, because you just brush the goo on... it dries up into plastic, so you an sand it and treat it like the rest of the kit. Can also be used to close small gaps and holes on other kits..

Great job Bert I`ve used the melted sprue stuff before for filling gaps and it does work really well

Thanks guys! Am planning to add 1 or 2 more figures to this one, because I don't think they were driving around half empty..
