Great kit…I built it last year.

Normally you are allowed to enter a build in 1 campaigne, so you will have to ask the organiser.. and retract it from here to continue in the Sherman group.
I did that with an IDF M7 last year or the year before… had two, so left one in the Idf group and moved one to the Sherman group..

New set of bolts and nuts arrived…
And after using them on the remaining blocks…
But I think it was worth waiting for …

I go through a lot of those Meng nut and bolt sets. They are VERY useful.

Today replaced the handles on the side armour plates..
And started adding anti slip…
Last times I used fine sifted bird cage sand on my Puma
and embossing powder on the Achzarit…
This time I am using the AK hull texture ‘scattered’ (there is also 'standard but the scattered version seems more recommended for Idf armour).
I think maybe even a bit finer than the embossing powder, but that gave a nice instant pre-shading effect (because I got the black stuff, it’s available in different colours).

@michaelsatin Would I be eligible for this campaign doing the IAF Spitfire from this dual kit?
I was going to do the Egyptian one for the other active Spitfire campaign.

@bwilt Bert, I used the AK interactive stuff on my Merkava in the Tamiya campaign. I think it was overscale. The sand is really fine in real life. Yours look just perfect.

Last week at build night I started working on the hull of the M-51. I was surprised that each of the supports from the hull to the track fender or cover had to be put on separately. Clearly that took most of the evening. Tonight I will carry on.

There are some great builds going on here!!
My Zelda II Classical has reached a stumbling block after two months into the build. I cannot find any clear images of the rear Driver’s side of the vehicle, particularly behind the “Toblerone” Armour. See pic for reference… area in question circled in red.
I have scratchbuilt the armoured fuel cell fittings on the other side, just have to add the storage bracket on the side of it, and the shields on the roof are ready to go with their green armoured glass effect. The main armour blocks are a little undersize so I am going to have to print them again slightly larger when I get the time to do it.
So if anyone has any clearer pics of the rear of this beast that they can let me have I might stand a chance of completing this model?!

I’m no help but I’m jealous of being able print stuff…
