Cheers fellas your words are always well appreciated . Here's a pic of the real stuff, just to show that I haven't gone mad or OTT on the AS That is the Merkava 1/2 in Munster, the pen is one of those stupidly thick ones about 12mm Ø . Anyway here's todays doings for yaz, sights for the driver, suspension is on, side skirts have been cut off to show the tracks and the ball and chain armour was added . Tomorrow will be frilies and wheels . ACW fellas

That's looking smashing mate, like those plastic ball & chains too. Saves mucking around with brass stuff

Once painted the chains'n balls you won't see a difference. Silly question, what's the purpose of them balls ? Guys, NO ! It's a serious question, let's not ruin Paul's thread !

Pete how right you are dude , the Bonus is there's enuff left over for another Merkava Ian, cheers mucker . Jeff, it's always good whne you can see the frillies instead of the skirts . Guy, to right mucker, they are very fine indeed . The Ball and chain affair is an effective simple add-on armour. It stops grenades from being lobbed onto the area under the turret, also it bust up RPG rounds before they hit the turret armour .
