This model interests me. Last night, I spent two hours looking at available Merkava models, reading reviews, and looking for a decent reference book on the subject. Earlier this year, I purchased a Takom Merkava I and want to acquire some additional versions.
Merkava suspensions are complicated. What you have assembled so far looks good.

My Merkava is a Mk.4M from Meng, I’m less than halfway done.

Yeah. My knowledge is barely more than, “that is a cool looking tank”. As with most modern vehicles, there are 40+ years of variants and minor modifications. I cannot find anything equivalent to a Panzer Tracts book on the subject.

I’m hoping I can find a easy choice of color when I get to that point.

The original Merk mock up was based on a reversed Centurion hull.
I’m watching as well.

As far as the correct color the answer is “Sinai Gray”.
The recipe for making it with Tamiya XF is (supposedly) XF-20+XF-57 ratio of 1:1.
But as far as what color is perfect, I can only say it varies…

So these roadwheels are not mentioned in the directions, they look to be steel wheeled. Are they a option for the 2D?
Thanks
