Building Border's Merkava MK.2D

[Damraska]

Oh my gosh. A model, legos, and Reddy Kilowatt all in the same picture. I love it! Oh. And the knife.

[Dan]

My son made the glue holder out of Legos about 20 years ago!

[Dan]

Wheels done.

[Dan]

An option, plastic or metal spring.

[Dan]

Think I’ll go with the plastic spring as the inner rod doesn’t connect to the top and bottom.

[Dan]

One unit done.

[Stryker45]

I liked the look of the metal spring but then again I don’t have this kit to know the whole setup. The plastic spring looks good as well with careful painting and weathering it will look perfect.

[Dan]

I’m just not sure if it should no connecting rod from the top to bottom?

[Dan]

New modeling accessory

[Ed_Bert]

The Mk.4 has a shaft in the center, but the design is considerably different so, I’m not much help am I?

[Dan]

It’s helpful, it seems odd that there would be a inner top and lower piece. I thought the inner piece would be a one piece rod.

[Dan]

Some of the suspension units are done. I’m surprised to see this type of system on a modern AFV.

[Dan]

Working on this today and have mounted the upper shock mounts.
