Compare this new 2008 Legend of Korea Resin kit of the Merkava Mk IV Up-Grade Model with new side skirts, new observer hatch, mesh covers and others
Many of the issues and complaints from modeler's feed back have been incorporated in this new kit. The rough textured surface however, is still missing. Also
in this image can be seen for the first time the aiming triangle block on the end of the 120mm main gun barrel and the new motor vent atop the rear Pantiers.
In this 'reverse' angle above the hidden 60mm mortar hatch can be found a lot easier if one looks.... very berry carefully! Exhaust side port mesh covered here.
Here the LIC (urban warfare) improvements in this Up-Graded model can be obviously spotted like the removable Belly Armor Pack, mesh lights & new FCS
Above thicker improved Full Length side skirts on the resin model can be seen as well as better rubberized tractor treads. Called the Merkava Mk IV A D
New Merkava Mark IV Walk-Around of 2008 'ACADEMY of Korea' scale precision 1/35th

resin Legend 1/35th example. Estimated Academy USA 2008 Holiday price about $35 wholesale.
