Thank you for the clarification. I tried. 
I’ve been out of the (IAF history) loop for a number of years and loss track of Yofe’s works. I will certainly seek them out. Thanks again.

There’s almost always someone out there with newer, more complete information. That’s the beauty of this site, modelers helping modelers!

Thanks for the extension - that helps to avoid rushing.
Thanks for the info. I might follow up on the Avia book. I have a ton of them in the stash.

I’m actually starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel, and it’s not the train coming to run me over….
I don’t think.
Detail painting is about done, skirts and tracks are ready for installation. It’s time to start weathering.

The finish line is in sight.
My original plan was to display a Hotchkiss tank being refueled.
In the end, I decided on a diorama featuring a civilian fighter standing in front of the tank on a map of the eraly stage of the independance war.
The tank is currently in weathering stage, and I’m going to start painting the figure.

Getting very close here. I still need headlight lenses, tow cables, MGs, side skirts and the loader’s hatch but I’m starting to like it. I may nut up and build the Australian version that’s in the stash.

Using the Legends stowage sure moved things along too. If I do another IDF tank I’ll use it again.

It does look nice and the legend crew stuff is a great addition.

I’m calling this done. I’ve had a couple of productive evenings and was able to do the little things it lacked, so until it gets a base and figs it’s going to the case.

Very nice finish! The stowage is a great addition and very realistic.

Can I mark it as completed?
Egyptian Unimog 404 captured by the IDF in 1973. It will still be part of a diorama with figures.

I am not the campaign leader here, but for what it is worth, I would clearly say yes.
