Description

Second volume of a series of modelling books for the military modeller and enthusiast. Each book will centre on a particular subject, and contain some 22 builds, including "how-to" guides, showcase features, and also include tips and techniques. Each book will cover a variety of models in popular scales, with full kit builds, conversion projects and painting guides. Produced in full colour with concise text and clear photography with informative captions. Today the Merkava or "Chariot" - a tank that evolved from Israels unique operational requirements - exemplifies the power of the Israeli Armoured Corps. However, it evolved from very humble beginnings, indeed in 1948, with the creation of the state of Israel and the first Arab-Israeli conflicts the Israelis had to make-do with armoured trucks and a few second-hand British tanks. This was soon to change as military necessity ensured that the Israelis became the masters of invention. What makes the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) particularly fascinating is that few armies have gained combat experience with such a variety of armour. Over the years the IDF has deployed the American M4 Sherman, M48 and M60 Patton, the British Centurion, the French AMX-13 and the Soviet T-54 and T-62; plus a plethora of modified hybrids such as the "Super Sherman/Isherman", ´"Sho't", "Magach", and "Sabra" as well as the homegrown "Merkava", not to mention the unique "Nagmachon", "Machbet" and "Nagmash"! Today the IDF has one of the largest and best equipped armoured forces in the world. This provides very fertile ground for´the enthusiast and modeller thus was the inspiration behind this SMMI Special. Inside you will find over 25´build projects from the very earliest to the very latest IDF tanks and armoured fighting vehicles, using some classic kits, upgrade sets and the newest models such as from Takom, Dragon and HobbyBoss.
