Israeli Magach III

This is the Dragon kit labeled 6 Day War series.  In actuality, this M48 was captured from Jordan during the 6 Day War and put into service by the IDF afterward.

 I only managed to find one photo of the M48 in this configuration, with the 50 Cal in the commanders Cupola and the search light still in place.

 The Cupola was later replaced and a separately mounted 30 Cal in its place.  The search light was replaced with the standard 50 Cal that you see on the more modern Israeli tanks in line with the main gun.

Lots of fidley bits in this Dragon kit. I did need to add a LEGEND stowage set which was for the early Magach series.
