Hi All,

I got the relatively new Meng Merkava 4M Trophy kit, which I have started to put together. I'm pretty happy with the model in many ways, but I had used some really nice detailed PE for the Academy Merkava Mark 4 LIC kit that I previously built. In particular, the PE for that kit included the 'screens' (not the right term) for the rear hull baskets, and other similar items. The Meng parts are solid plastic, and I'm not happy with them at all. Does anyone know if there are any PE sets for the Meng Merkava 4M tank? Thanks.

Hello Curt; I'm currently building the Meng Mk.4M as well. As of now I am not aware of any dedicated PE sets for the that kit. However that being said any Mk4 PE set (Eduard/Voyager/Legend) should provide useful. I have opted for the Legend Productions "Merkava Mk. 4 Detailing Set"(LF1180). For the Stowage Baskets I'll be utilizing the Meng "Israel Main Battle Tank Merkava Mk.4M Fully Loaded Rear Baskets"(SPS-056).

Hope this help and good luck
