The first is the Tamiya, relatively out of the box with added sowage. I believe this scheme was from the early Desert Storm operation in Iraq.The second is the Israeli modification of what I believe is the same tank but with different reactive armor. Other differences are in the barrel and the unique bussle rack which I had to scratchbuild. That was a lot of fun working from the museum photos I found. Other israeli modifications include the variety of machine guns on the hatches and mounted to the main gun mantlet, Grenade and smoke launchers on both sides of the main gun.
The Bussle rack was bulit with evergreen strips, rod and stretched sprue for the wrap around cables. More stowage was added including Israeli Food ration cartons.
