Model Magazine International 127

I've always been fascinated by Israeli armour, especially modern vehicles from the 1990s onwards. The Merkava. Israel's homegrown main battle tank, is a particular favourite of mine and has undergone many revisions and improvements since it was developed throughout the 1970s. The latest version, the Merkava 4. with its large saucer-shaped turret and heavily bolted appearance has an almost science-fiction look about it. Israeli armour has never been particularly well served in 1:72 scale, so the announcement of a range of resin kits from Cromwell Models was exciting news. A number of kits have been released so far covering several Merkava and Magach (M-60) variants, with more' promised for the future. Cromwell Models has traditionally been associated with 1:35 and 1:76 scales, but these kits mark the start of a new line called Combat 72. Another interesting aspect of these kits is that they are composed of only a few parts and this enables rapid assembly.
