Hi VPZ, You’re right, those are Katlanit ows, but I appreciate the effort. The top one, close up, is useful from a modelling perspective. Modelling IDF vehicles can be challenging due to the difficulty of finding good references. They do produce some of the most interesting vehicles, the Ofek being a good example.

Thank you VPZ, Lox; any idea where I may find drawings... Elbit is not replying to emails... pfft, modellers.

Does anyone here have photos of the Drakonit on an Achzarit that they can share, please? I’m interested in scratch building one in 1/35 (schematics would be helpful). I’ve searched and found a few images from this year in the Golan, but nothing hi-res. thanks, kylie

Thanks for that, Lox; it was wishful thinking. And it would look at bit odd...
-
Thank you, Lox, most intriguing. From a strictly modelling perspective, what does the roof look like, please? Thank you.

That is, I believe, an “Ofek” APC / C3I vehicle; but I stand to be corrected on that. There are only a few images of this vehicle out there showing the superstructure with slat armour, something unusual for IDF armour. They are from repurposed Merk 2 hulls.

StuG III Thread (and also other German vehicles I guess)
Newtonk replied to EnsignExpendable's topic in Mechanized Warfare
I’ve a question about rommelkiste on a Marder IID, sdkfz 132, in that was the top hinged, or did it consist of two sliding panels,? The reason I ask is I want to model a rommelkiste at the rear of a Marder IID and believe the top was two sliding panels inset as I’ve not seen a hinged top on any of the numerous photos out there. Any help appreciated. Thank you, kylie -
i'm amazed at how high the turret of the Namer sits above the hull; thanks for posting.
-
Sorry Zuk, it may be dead, but while we're talking.... is this the same as used on the Achzarit with "droid" mast?
-
Cheers for that, makes sense to destroy a dud round than leave it to be used against you later.
-
On the Merkava IV above, what is the tube parallel with the ground, behind the Trophy APS, please?
-
When it comes to repurposing vehicles, I think the Ofek is the winner. Thanks for posting the Nakpadon shots.
-
Yes Zuk, that’s that’s the one. Thanks for that. k. bloody newbies

I had a photo of 401 Armored Brigade training with Achzarits equiped with Drakonit RWC, need to attach from desktop.
-
I’d say that it is the left flank of an Achzarit, but that’s about all. Clean shot whatever it was that did it. Thanks for posting.
-
Thank you, gents; I appreciate the effort and the info. And I have the book mentioned; it is what inspired me to do the build I’m working on. Best regards, kylie

Hello all, first time poster here, looking for a little help with a cruel lady, please.... I need a photo of the engine bay of an Achzarit where the engine is removed; if anyone has a shot they can share, I’d appreciate it. I’m particularly interested in the teaching model of the Achzarit at the Golani Brigade training base, please. I did try several modelling forums before posting here. thanks in advance, Kylie
