I have it and I’d say from my limited knowledge of Merkava it’s top notch. Compared to Tamiya’s earlier Merkava it shows how far the hobby has gone. And it’s a ton of plastic there!
The black objects are jigs for the tracks, brass chain and cables, PE, clear parts, very sharp decals, link and length tracks.
Anti slip and nicely done weld seams.
The weighted links skirting looks amazing
I’d say pick it up, I’ll certainly add this new kit to my collection.
