Title: Khurasan releases 15mm Merkava Mark 4
Post by: Khurasan Miniatures on 21 June 2016, 02:44:56 PM

We are very pleased to release our latest model for the 15mm Modern Middle Eastern Wars range, and the first armoured vehicle specific to that range, the Merkava Mark 4.  This is the interim version, with the solid rear mudguard but pre-TROPHY. The kit is resin with pewter detail parts, including an optional part for "Sampson's Hair" -- the chain and ball application on the lower rear of the turret, meant to detonate ATGMs before they strike the shot trap on the turret rear face.  Now that TROPHY is being adopted Sampson's Hair is being phased out but can still be seen on some tanks, and was used in the 2006 invasion of Lebanon.

Thanks Agis -- will ship by Friday.

We will have the Zelda Toga next for the Israelis. It's been printed for a while but there's a bit of a glut at the resin casters. :-)
