Takom IDF M1

Build complete, OOB. Just needs the tow cable added. Very nice kit. No issues. No plastic option for brush guards. Indy workable links tedious to assemble but not a deal breaker for me. Just noticed the sagging track. Idler not yet glued.

nice work. I suggest you to add small accessories like boxes or fuel drums , It’s tipical in long range operations

Finished. May add some stowage later. Thanks for looking.

It looks outstanding DV! Excellent finish, love the subtle texture and various tones you’ve used on the hull and entire model really and your tracks are weathered beautifully.

Thanks everyone. This was a relatively easy build. Most times consuming part was the tracks. Nice detail, good fit all around. Need to get their M51 next.

Very nice model of an Independent Armored Battalion 182 Super-Sherman! Specifically of the Secret Jerusalem Company!

One very minor note.

It should have a .50 cal M2 mounted on the roof.

The following are some of the very few photos I have of 815232 during the Six-Day War in IAB 182.

All other photos I have of IAB 182 from this period show their Super-Shermans with this M2 .50 cal in that mounting.
