That was the one in my list, and yeah I don't understand the price jump. I think when I added it, the going price was around $28, now I see it north of $50!Stikpusher wrote: ↑Wed Nov 01, 2023 8:04 pm Tom & Robert, thank you.
I’d like to pick up the Tamiya Grenada M151A2 to build one day. It’s just really pricey for a slightly upgraded version of the basic kit.

Re: IDF TOW M151
The other night I just happened to find some headlight lenses that will work on this build in my “stuff”. All I can say is that I wish that I had found them a month ago. But after paint, I was not happy with how the headlights looked, as painting would never make them look right… so with my Dremel I removed the kit headlights…
Then I glued the replacements in place after painting the interiors silver
I also added a coat of dust on the tires, then test fitted everything….
just a few bits more of detail painting to do, plus some weathering and I’ll call this completed…

That's looking awesome. Nice move on the headlights. I have to imagine you've got another day or so tops on this one.
Thanks,

Re: IDF TOW M151
Thank you Stuart.
Well... stick a fork in it, I'm calling this one done....
I'll get a multi photo/angle view of this one up later...

Thanks John and Tom!
Yeah, quite a punch… could kill any MBT in existence at that time out to 3,750 meters, or 2.3 miles…
