They aren’t small as they’re based on the Merkava Mk IV chassis.

In the second photo, both MGs appear to have significant amounts of rust on them, as well as both mounts. If not rust, could it be some sort of IDF-specific preservative that hasn’t been wiped off?

Looks like dust ,same as lower down on the hull around the hinge ,had same thing when I was in the army here in Australia ,red dust got into Everything! and you were constantly cleaning weapon’s etc ,some of your gear ,like webbing, you could never get it out :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

I need to put my glasses on!

First glance at the top pic was like “OK so they are adding doghouses to their HEMTT fuel tankers now… that’s… an interesting duty for some poor dude…”

goes off to find glasses and make a strong cup of coffee

What is the best solution if I want to make a Zelda Nagmash?

I looked into it but looks like the only game in town is an Italeri M113 and aftermarket armour package? I built an Italeri M113 years and years ago when I was a kid and wasnt that enamoured with it even then. Doesnt anyone make a better one?

If You want to build uparmored version of M113 the best solution is AFV Club M113 and Legend conversion. https://www.super-hobby.co.uk/products/Toga-Armored-Shields-set-for-the-IDF-M113-for-AFV-Club-35311.html

Who would have thought a IDF tank company would have Jeep Wranglers

Any pics of a IDF Jeep Wrangler

The Jeep Wrangler-based IDF vehicles are called “Storm” (Hebrew: סופה, Sufa). They’re built by Automotive Industries Ltd. in Upper Nazareth under license from Chrysler since 1990 :
