Tamiya's Merkava I Main battle Tank

This is the Israeli main battle tank Merkava I. I used Tamiya's Buff for a base coat and washed it heavily with burnt umber oils to darken the appearance a bit. Drybrushed with enamels. I've applied some small scratches for a used look. Tarps were made from kleenex and all the infantry gear in the cargo holder is made of resin.
