This is the vehicle, it is a ZMAG

Thanks for pointing that out.

Love this pic. Instant (large!) diorama…Rochev with three types of M113 variants!

Too bad those kits aren’t done in 1/48. That would be more manageable than 1/35.

Looks like two Rochev (M109) howitzers with a Mugaf (M577) Command vehicle, an Alfa (M548) ammo tender and a Chata’p (M-113) repair vehicle.

@gtdeath13

third in line

Fourth??

[gtdeath13]

Yes fourth…

Loving the image with the Ofek, thank you. Interesting to note there are two styles of cope cage seen here, too… the “table top” flat fitted cage seen on the second and forth MBT, and the “roof” design, seen on the first and third MBT.

(bit of) “flat” cage on the right…

More “flat” cages

That’s a Mk II isn’t it? I didn’t think they were still in service?

[barthass]

This is MK. 3 Dor Dalet.

this may be fast, but is not accurate for a Merk IV cope cage, which is more slats than mesh:

I’m not convinced either… The shape is off as well. Kit manufacturers should not confuse speed with haste.
