I bet. It is nice to keep uniformity in a collection. We have a couple guys here in AZ AMPS and they build 1/72 stuff as well… they have brought in some great looking new 1/72 kits over the past few meetings.Duke Maddog wrote: ↑Tue Mar 19, 2024 6:20 pm Thank you Kari! I appreciate that!
Yes, another reason I keep my collection consistent; seeing the growth rate of more modern stuff compared to earlier.

Re: Milestone Achieved, Ready for Inspection
That rocks Carlos! Did you tell them of my collection? I'll bet some of them remember my display from 2018.
I'm thrilled that I'm not alone.

Some of the guys there know your screen name, or real name, and know your work. Your reputation has preceded you.

Re: Milestone Achieved, Ready for Inspection
Mark, I don't suppose you have a recollection on who makes the IDF armor? I have been thinking of some, but I don't think my usual go to manufacturers put any out in 1/72...but i am obviously missing them based on what you have there.

Re: Milestone Achieved, Ready for Inspection
There are seveal manufacturers who do 1/72 scale Israeli armor. Here's what I remember:
-> The M-48 and M-60's are made by Revell and/or Revell of Germany
-> The M113's are slightly modded from ESCI/Italeri kits.
-> most of the models are from Revell, ESCI/Italeri, PST and some old Matchbox/Airfix kits built and painted up in Israeli colors.
-> The BTR 152 is from Omega-K
-> ACE makes the following models:
Both of the Tiran tanks, all four of the Centurion Sho't Kal variants, the BRDM-1 and -2 variants, and the Nagmashon and Nagmashot APC's
-> The Super Sherman and Isherman are both resin models from Cpl Overby's Motor Pool
-> The Merkava I is an old ESCI kit, not sure is Italeri ever re-released it. The Merkava II, III, IIID Lic, III Baz, and IV are all Trumpeter/Hobby Boss.
That is what I remember the most. I do hope this helps
