Group Build Description: Modeling the IDF from 1948 (or before) to today
Event Details: (Remember to click “Going” if you want to join the build!)
iDF campaigns seem to be pretty popular, so I’m going to keep them going. This campaign is open to modeling all IDF (and Haganah, predecessor to the IDF) related subjects past and present. The campaign will run from Yom Haatzmaut, 2025 (Israeli Independence day), 1 May through 1 May, 2026.
Please note: this is a politics free zone, like the rest of KitMaker forums. This campaign is about modelling the IDF, not about discussing the morality of its operations. I will be keeping a close eye on this thread, and will deal with anything I feel violates this policy.
A Note about Awards: The following text is a reminder that in order for people participating and finishing their projects to receive a badge on their forum profile, they will need to provide their account username to the group build leader by the completion date of the build. The leader will then provide this list to the site admin who will bulk award the badges to those users who have finished the group build. If you don’t provide your username or finish the project on the timetable the leader has setup you will not be able to receive an award.
I think I will do a “Shmira”. Still have a M151 in parts somewhere. Might be a fun conversion/scratchbuild.
Otherwise I have a Tamiya Merkava in the stash.
I was digging through my decals and found a brand new sheet of Star Decals Magach markings from the 6-Day War, and I have enough left-overs from other builds to do a Magach 2. Hmmm…
I’ve had each of these kits in the stash since they were released, the Mirage in 2004 (good Lord, it’s old enough to drink!) and the MiG since 2013. Despite some scuffing of the box, the Mirage is untouched. The MiG has just the bright green areas pre-painted.
Planning on doing both from the 1973 time frame (assuming the MiG looked the same then as the markings in the box show.) Should be fun, if I can keep my focus.
