After some time and a difficult fight on one, I have finally finished a few armor models. Here they are....

This is the one I had the hardest fight with. The tracks were true vinyl and thus impossible to glue on. However, I found a solution and now I can honestly claim that this one is truly built out of the box:

Next up is my Russian T-90 tank with the cast turret. I'd already built the same tank with the welded turret so I needed to complete this one. Here it is all ready for delivery to my Russian forces:

Finally, another addition to my Merkava family is now ready for delivery to my Israeli Army. This is the Merkava IIID LIC all completed:

Now all I need is the Merkava IIID and I'll have all the Merkava's currently available in 1/72 scale. Until then, I do have more armor to do.

That's all I have completed so far in armor. I also finished two aircraft; feel free to check them out too.

Meanwhile, thanks for looking in, comments are welcome.

Thanks for the great comments guys. Joe, no car right now; I'm having a difficult enough time trying to get a smooth coat on several aircraft that should have been done months or even years ago. I want to finish some easy stuff and a car ain't easy for me.

Thanks again for all the great compliments.

Thanks ever so much for the incredible compliments and comments guys! Jed, you are right; 1/72 scale armor has come a long way from the days of RSCI, Airfix and Matchbox. It is such a thrill being able to work on such awesome new models.

BTW, some time back I went through and made a list of all the companies that made the kits I built. There is a total of 43 different companies represented in my completed armor and vehicle collection. That is just a little FYI....
