Response to Merkava Tweaks List for Andy Barnett

Hi guys,
re Tweaks ...Create small gaps between the turret & armour panels, the kit is a bit too neat.
Telephone box -- check depth of telephone box on rear -- they are not as deep as the kit part -- & handle for box.

Academy kit, part C22 -- whatever it is, can find no data to support it being on anything but early versions of Mk.1 (it was not so square & upright either).

Casting numbers & anti-slip on hull & turret -- best to apply, then sand it down to scale (PE is good).

Exhaust outlets -- all Mk.1s it's on the LHS behind the extinguisher handle with the pipe just protruding on some. Some have a thin rim with or without a weld-bead.

Also an exhaust-pipe (not protruding) on RHS near the front (auxillary motor?). On early Mk.2 (no extra turret armour) the same.

Academy provide a decal for the extinguisher square but you could make it 3-dimensional.

(Sources -- Concord #1001 "Israel's Armour Might" & War Data #10)

cheers Ray
