Good to see her ready for paint mate. And one thing I hate (modelwise) about Merkava's are those darn Ball and Chains...did a Merk IV once and it wasn't the most fun assembly ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) Good thing the Merkava I doesn't have them ey LOL Cheers

A few balls and chains? There were plenty ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) I have evolved, at that time I didn't do THAT much etch LOL Still, left me traumatised for life ![(rofl)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/rofl.png) Worst thing is: couple of years later I won ANOTHER Merkava IV in a contest which sits in the stash Cheers

Many thanks fellas ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) , like Pete said earlier due to the good and plenty of beers in the garden ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) , this has come to slow down over the last 2 days. She is however now drying off in the cellar, the Israeli Sand 1981 from Mr. Color has been applied but it stinks ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) . It isn't as advertised acrylic, but Lacquer paint which does have a strong smell to it ![:-/](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/undecided.png) . Ian the tracks are being painted in situ ![O_o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/browraise.png) , my fault as I glued the return roller in place and couldn't get the track back over it ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) . Wouts, I know what you mean with those balls and chain dude ![;-|](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/squint.png) , this is the only version that can get away without the ball and chain and also without the anti-slip. All others Merkava that came after 1982 (Lebanon) had the the stuff added ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) . Hopefully if the weather ain't too good, tomorrow should get a decent update for yaz ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

This will naturally disturb the process here, but before I go here's yesterdays colouring for you ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) . ![](https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1751/41636497274_c72acb7b20_c.jpg) ![](https://farm1.staticflickr.com/878/27489230637_7958e6cc9c_c.jpg) I managed to keep the pre-shade this time round ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) , still I might go over it again using Ian's secret Tammy smoke effect ![(:))](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/ninja.png)
